That’s the whole idea behind grass root movements.

It’s shear laziness or the fact that none of them believe strongly enough to get their words across.

The Canadian government froze the bank accounts of protesters early this year. How are you meant to "get around the establishment" when you can't even afford to pay your bills and have been essentially made penniless?

Worth noting that the same Canadian government is cheering on equivalent protests against covid restrictions in China.

It crossed the line into soft terrorism for anyone living in the city. Breaking the law has consequences, even in democracies. I don’t remember any praise from right wingers when a Baltimore Mayor gave some protesters “space to destroy”. Civil disobedience has a place, but the law must also be enforced. If you believe in your cause strongly enough, going to jail is part of the point.
