  • I completely agree. Like it or not if you want your protests to become a movement you have to appeal to “normal” people. When a normal person sees a statue of a person they consider a hero being vandalised or they see a protest full of people with dreadlocks, green hair, and hippy clothes they’re just going to dismiss it as an alternative culture that they don’t relate to.

    If I’m being cynical here it almost makes me believe that some of these people care more about their identity and image than they do about the cause. They’ll go to all the effort of turning up to these things but they can’t even get a haircut and throw on a shirt. I’m going off on a tangent here.

    I remember years ago reading about some test where participants lived in a house next to a phone mast. For the first week the phone mast was off, then the next week they turned it on. In the second week a bunch of people complained about getting sick and one person even had to leave. Then it turned out they’d never actually turned it on, I guess to prove that these people were idiots.
