At times, yes.  Which is really nothing special in France lol Did it as organizer as well, looong time ago, an enlightening experience! Not one I could guess lol, I faced directly the chessplay that is politics, how journalism works, the way local politics work as well. It was great, a bit sad also, but great overall. As participant, the themes were varied. The most recent one I've been into was about climate change.

In the 1970s, I participated in marches for civil rights. I marched in support of United Farm Workers. I've been on anti-war marches.

I went to a few large rallies to protest covid mandates.

I'm involved in the pro-Palestinian movement but haven't been to any marches.

Yes, lots. My first ever was a counter protest to the teachers’ union strike when i was in middle skool. Negotiations were delaying the start of the skool year. When my friends and i learned that it was going to shorten our summer break, we made picket signs and went to the opposite side of the street from the teachers’ line and yelled at them to go back to work. 😂😂
In hindsight, we could have marched with them to achieve the same end. In our defense, we didn’t understand unions and contract negotiations and all that goes with it. Then again, the teachers didn’t come over and try to learn us on the issues and how we could be more helpful. I guess they would technically have been scabbing if they took the time to teach us something while on strike. 😂😂
I’ve been to a few marches and two pickets with my union. I joined a protest over the closing of a historic movie theater in my hometown. I protested gas price hikes at the state capital years ago. Which is hilarious in hindsight because it was the first time gas jumped over $4/gallon. I would cut off a thumb for that price now! Ell oh ell! I feel like i’m leaving some out, but i can’t recall right now.

I luv a peaceful protest! I support the Constitutional right for everyone to peaceably assemble, even when i disagree with their position. All of the protests, strikes and marches i’ve attended and we never blocked traffic, never started fights or riots, never destroyed anything but ignorance, and never set anything on fire.
At the same time, nobody else used our demonstrations as a means to justify their own antisocial or criminal behavior either.

I never attended a protest,

My school did a walk out for “march for our lives”, I didn’t join in because it shouldn’t be the student body’s problem it should be the fat cats in Washington’s problem.

We are not meant to be sitting ducks while their lobbyists pour millions into keeping their rifle industry alive. Human lives aren’t expendable, don’t let anyone go “2nd Amendment” because it is corporate propaganda.

2nd Amendment CAN be upheld while preventing mental patients, bad guys with guns, and those with past criminal offenses, etc. from getting their hands on guns.
9/11 Didn’t end planes, it added restrictions and regulations to follow and therefore we can do the same. Creation of the DMV didn’t ban driving, it regulated it.
So we can have common sense gun laws without being invasive or deter people their 2nd Amendment Rights.

Not a fool so no. 99% of protests are pointless and I have never been in a situation to find myself in the 1% of a meaningful protest that would actually bring change. The 99% is just crybabies whining about something that won't change no matter how much they whine.

Yeah I did protest the corona lockdowns and vaccination coercion. But it was pretty much a waste of time cause any of the reasonable arguments was completely ignored and the entire movement was defamed as anti vaxxers which the least of us actually were.

Yes, I want to a protest against the Biden administration. This was in 2021. There was no violence. Maybe because most of the people that were there would kick the shit out of anyone that made trouble

yes, I protested in support of caged birds that were being shot with shotguns.  Gaza: If one side could recognize the other, it be progress. As it is, they choose not to see.
