Answer 2

tv

Answer 3

Why protest when the government gives everything away  or do you mean war protests

Answer 4

I'd like to answer this with a question.  Is it a fact that there are less protests now compared to 25 years ago?  Please provide some numbers if possible.

Just doing a quick research on protests and riots, etc on the internet made me realize a lot of it are NOT reported.  I'm just wondering if the decline is merely a result of the media not reporting it.

Answer 5

No there is more today. Much more!  It's just that people have changed. Today they are willing to give up their freedom for a little bit of safety.

This is not the traditional American way. Ben Franklin said people who do that deserve neither. I agree with that. It's time people got off of the couch and went into the streets and stood up for the American way of life, or we are going to throw it all away.

Answer 6

The success of  propaganda and preoccupation with entertainment. There are massive protests but not everyone can protest or not as many as could be involved are.

The other reasons could be lack of a desire to get behind a movement to change things . This could supply the illusion there  is no one with the Charisma and skill to motivate people to change thingthrough a social movement. The protests also take a traditional form like placards on poles in the hands of protesters which while effective do not seem to have the effect on the reason of the people they are marching against it should.

There is an idea to add on the topic to make the protests more effective which is to pin a copy of The Geneva Conventions over the door of every house, every college,and every university to make a statement about how things are. Further to make clear how people should act other copies should be taken to Government buildings and pinned on them and each person should carry a copy in hand as they march. The placement of photographs of offenders against these with The Geneva Conventions and the reading out of the offences on television and radio should improve the chances of protests
