I think there must be a clear-cut campaign that has to be waged when it comes to protesting - simply showing up with a sign isn't enough, I don't think. I'm thinking Gandhi style rallies and hitting the economic system in a profound way. I must admit that the failure of the Occupy movement and the movement in Hong Kong really shook my faith in peaceful protesting, but at the same time I really do think that with enough of a coherent vision it would be possible to make change happen. But maybe I'm being naive.
