It depends. I'm more into pragmatism then idealism. I'm not really all that into protest culture since they tend to clog up the roads and it just seems more productive to go after legislature directly, if that's the problem. The politicians just ignore them anyway and so does the city for the most part, it just messes up people's commute. It is mostly seen as free training on the city's tab for kids who wish to go into politics later. The big protests. Those they notice. There just aren't that many of them, only one or two a generation.
