I’m seeing people talk about “designated protest zones” and “law-abiding protests.” Seriously, what the fuck are we doing here.

That reminds me of when China set up designated zones for officially sanctioned protests during their summer games. Protests had to be vetted by the gov't in advance and positioned far from any Olympic sites and journalists. Is the moderate position then to emulate the Chinese gov't?

How about a compromise. Protest in public areas regardless of whether you have permission but don't do things like break physical property or shut down traffic. Those things don't win people to your cause. They piss people off and alienate them.

Performance. If your "protest" is all legal with permits, et al, it's a performance. Perhaps, and maybe even likely, for a worthwhile cause, but it's not a protest, it's a performance.
