  • The problem is that of those 20/30% only 10% will actually get out on the streets so you are left with around 2% of the general population. And that ain’t much

    So you do agree?

    Getting mass protests organized is a tremendous effort. If you have 80-90% support for something, getting 30-40% on the street is a huge accomplishment. If only 30% support the idea in the first place, there is no chance.

    The “mass protest” has to be at a scale, where it’s basically a general strike where society shuts down because people are protesting.

    That it doesn’t work right now doesn’t mean they should stop trying.

    but a very loud and significant minority

    This is meaningless in a country that chooses to ignore public voices. Authoritarian regimes can stay stable with 10-15% support of the population, ignoring protests and complaints.
