RE: Why Protesting Usually Doesn't Work, and What Does
In my country, Brazil, socialist politicians pay for ppl to protest, with food and 30$. Through said "manifestation" they boast "oh look how many ppl want this thing im proposing!".
The only manifestation that was actually voluntary and worked, was the one in which we wanted corrupt president Dilma to be impeached. Other than that, Im yet to see an actual effective and voluntary protest.
Great piece.
Haha, yeah, I've seen that happen in the U.S., too. Usually it's not politicians, but political action groups (which have non-profit status here, and are often loosely affiliated with politicians or political candidates) paying people to protest.
