why social protest no longer works

Politically correct organizations (NGO) schedule events where nobody is expected to show up for the activity, so that they can point to the demonstration of intended action as meeting the requirements of their funding agencies. There is always a designated responsible person who has to be there to carry out the motions, as if people were there, because if a single non-connected person shows up and then complains about the non-event, 'goodwill'' is lost. So, this work becomes an illusion of keeping pretense up for the perfect, everybody loves us, no-complaints allowed world, while making no attempt whatsoever to challenge the obvious fact - that politically correct posturing as actual action accomplishes nothing. But it does leave the saps funding the program thinking they have done something for a cause. Just keep sending money in the little envelope that comes six times a year for your annual membership.
