Feel good protests vs doing what is necessary to affect change with what you disagree with. Saying that you don't recognise the authority of those you disagree with is just a form of cope at the individual level, but also much more dangerous in the societal level. It's like a failed coup, a Feel Good protest that does not affect any real change just strengthens the authority that you disagree with. Im not advocating for more violent or extreme protests, but rather more effective forms of protest that fit within the current authority so they have no leverage to shut it down.
