Why The Civil War Protests

In recent times, there is most times the news of how a massive crowd has amassed in the streets, in the name of a “protest”. The reasons for the protests vary and most times include bad laws imposed by the government, denunciations of corruption and economic inequality, unfair living conditions experienced by the public , and police abuse.In fact in the news and media, these protests realize an intimidating crowd of people furiously demanding change. And yet, it is surprising how little these crowds achieve. The response of the government to this protest is greatly disproportionate to the practical requests of these demonstrations.
This is not to say that some protests have not led to great changes in some territories of the world or in fact
The planning for March on Washington in August 1963, for example, started in 1962.Today, digital communication has made the planning of marches far easier. It can start with a single Facebook post and culminate in a march weeks later. a protest is not necessarily a sign of an actual movement; that’s why some large protests in these recent years have failed and have less effect on policy than many would expect. For example the antiwar protests of February 2003, which cut across 600 cities in the world. I assumed the United States and its allies could not ignore a protest of that size. But the then President George W. Bush, ignored the protest and the Iraq war began soon after. This was because the protesters failed to transform into an electoral force capable of defeating him in the 2004 election. Another example was in 2011,the global Occupy protests, which were held in about 1,000 cities in more than 80 countries of the world, Thanks in part to digital technology, those protests, too, had been organized in just a few weeks. This one too failed. Such a global, massive, and seemingly well-organized initiative should have had a greater impact. But it didn’t. Though the topic of economic inequality has gained momentum in the years since, in practice it is hard to find meaningful changes in public policy based on Occupy’s proposals. By and large the Occupy movement
A protest would indeed be a protest when the participants don’t just pull a crowd but in fact pull a voice of reasoning, and map out adequate platforms and plans to help the government implement their requests. In the words of an American political and social activist, “There is absolutely no greater high than challenging the power structure as a nobody, giving it your all, and winning!” ― Abbie Hoffman
