I understand a bit deeper than that actually. These things aren’t happening with a two hour march on the weekend. This reeks of the BLM protests, where people just wanted to return to the status quo and go back to brunch. And people did go back to brunch and things just continued getting worse, with no systemic changes.
I take it you weren’t at these protests. At the one in my city, the end of the protest march had tables and tables full of resistance organizations signing people up to get involved, handing out fliers on ways to do more than wave cardboard signs, etc.
In many ways, protests like these are onboarding for the resistance.
Read this if you’re having difficulty understanding the purpose of the recent protests.

We need more than a two hour photo-op.

I went to table myself, and saw none or even lingering crowds, but granted it seems like it may have been a local phenomenom for me.
I was just expecting more out of San Francisco
Maybe everyone was too busy doing this.
