re: Have protests ever changed a mind?

Massive protests in our history have worked before. Government officials have definitely been known to cave in some instances.
Now 50 kids on a college campus aren’t going to do shite or change the course of history even a little bit.
Edit: Nothing wrong with a protest in the grand scheme of things since I’m all for freedom of speech. It’s just counterintuitive when you piss off a large group of people by interfering with their commute, destroying people’s property, demanding things, etc.

Not saying this is one of them but all social movements started small. The difference is the people who started them actually had skin in the game...the shite they were protesting, to start with, was shite that impacted them directly and negatively.
I don't know that they ever moved the needle when it was mercenaries doing the protesting on behalf of someone else from the get go. The take over of BLM protests by white women is a pretty good example....
