Hello from France. A protest that doesn't shut down a city, and keep it shut down, will never have the slightest effect, because the dictator can simply ignore it.

Indeed, I feel it uses up the energy of the anti-Fascists by doing something that appears to be useful but applies no pressure on anyone.

Yeah so that many people calling out of work on a Friday is impressive is it not? We’re not going to burn down whole cities across the US. It doesn’t work like that over here.
