A lot of protests here too….
The only time I remember protests/riots working was around the poll tax, which brought down the government of the time. The biggest protests were in the lead up to Gulf War 2, you know when Bush and Blair blew up millions of innocent Iraqis over some shit the Saudis did.
However, sitting back and doing fuck all is pretty weak, if it’s an issue that effects you (I’ve family in Lebanon). Boycotting companies seems pretty logical to me. People like money and I try to stop them getting any of mine.
