These protests feel like the definition of controlled, pointless opposition

I hear you, but most people aren't well informed.
Most people are just trying to get by and are highly vulnerable to oppositional propaganda.
Will the No Kings protests directly change the system? No.
But the fact that millions of people across the country came together and touched grass as a group with some united mindset still matters.
General strikes, government occupation, and corporate sabotage do not "just happen".
These things require mass cohesion and unified goals. These protests are a critical first step in building that cohesion and getting people motivated to physically gather and DO SOMETHING.
Don't let the doomer brains infect you. Seeing ordinary and under informed people work together is a great sign that we still have a chance.
