I'd like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I'd like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but bitches. I've never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I've been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.
I'll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.
Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I've ever been a part of.
folks. search engines. then you don't have to prove yourselves wrong through your easily remeded ignorance.
your question is "does literally every single protest ever immediately achieve the exact aims it set out to?"
no.
Why would you think that?
also, it's not like that battle is over.
Why don't you Google these things first?
France is literally reassessing the pension move from 2023 right now, as of 3 days ago, because it isn't going to solve any problems.
"those guys" you mentioned are in a pretty good spot since everything they said in 2023 is being proved correct now.

Your claim that protesting works period would logically lead to that conclusion. If not all protests work then there must be effective and non-effective ways of protesting, and just the "will of the people" can't be enough. In hindsight the Iraq war would've been a better example here.
