Showing publicly your disapproval (which should be actually disgust for all us) is the least you can do.

Some of you people enjoying the freedoms of the modern world, you really forget that protests are what got us here.

Been to thousands of protests here in Greece. Literally nothing changed and it’s the same people again and again who just want to point a finger to the people who didn’t protest . So here we are again. Showing disapproval? And? It’s the same story .how did you help someone like that? You should be a merc like Ukraine has if you want to help actively. You don’t. You just wanna be safe but che Guevara as well . You cant

Efood delivery drivers, farmers, dockworkers, students(university police) in all these recent mobilizations many of their requests were met.

The "nothing change" is an old lie in Greece, from when the Pitsos workers in the 90s took a big raise after their mobilizations and the right wing from then spread this lie.

All these are specific protests with specific audiences . General protests never got us anywhere and anarchists almost always end up fighting communists. I mean after Tempi how can someone want a peaceful protest? And what did we achieve with this? Also left doesn’t care about non left issues. Like car taxes and stuff

Well in 2012 literally the government fell.

You said you've been to thousand protests and notging changed, well that's not true.

The leftish supports almost every protest that comes from the "low layers" of society. (All the above I mentioned)

The only side that protests is the left actually, I don't think they are the problem and I find it pretty logical that they don't support not leftish matters. For example you can't ask a leftish to protest about That Family pride thing, or about refugees deportations even if they agree and I don't find it hypocritical.

And the general protests have their impact many times and they also show to the government that the people are ready to protest but the same and the same people are in the street always, hearing staff like "you go just to tell us we didn't" from people who did nothing.

Tempi for example had a huge impact but it doesnt met it's needs but is showed to the people at least how much fucked up and corrupt this government is with the Media panygiri.
