Correct instincts as ever Martin. Protests of this type seem to comprise paid agitators combined with brainwashed lefties who appear to assume that any protest called upon by their political leaders must be for the good, plus a seemingly growing number of naiive youngsters who lack the ability to question and think critically. The latter were flummoxed recently by a guy who involuntarily attended a Just Stop Oil protest when his car was blocked in. He told them they were all hypocrytes because all their clothing and banners were made from oil, so they should start by practising what they preach and get rid of the puffer jackets, etc. They were clueless and had no idea - gullible children who should know better; especially as many of them
In essence: Until something is being pushed on an individual by real force there is no subject to protest against. The matter is for each individual to ascertain what "the real force" is? In modern society influenced by media mostly the illusion has become "the real force" for part of society while for the rest it is still an illusion. This is where the division is: It is on the border between illusion and reality. The subject of illusions are different and the groups of people are not constant. On one subject an individual may be in the "illusion" group; on other subject the one is in the group "reality". The task for a sane individual is stick to as much "reality" groups as possible on vital topics of the life: there would be not much reasons to protest, if there would be any at all.
"protest participants are not bringing their own banners, but are assigned them, and told how to behave,"
Hmmm, who is the organizer?
Again, thanks Martin

Thank you, Martin, for interesting reading.
