How exactly is not wanting genocide a bad thing?
Because you can't close down a National Monument and achieve anything.
Protesting is useless?
If their goal was to make the news. Then they achieved it.
If their goal was to spread a message. Then they achieved it.
I could go on, but I fear you don’t care for facts.
Generally when you make yourself look like an idiot in the process

Political stunts are the same as changing your Facebook profile picture these days, it does and means nothing.
How is this a political “stunt”? Our constitution grants us the ability to demonstrate for very good reasons. You like not working weekends, that was changed because of protests. Women enjoying the right to vote, demonstrations made this happen. The civil rights movement, was one of the largest protests in our nations history. But I guess they should have just “changed their Facebook photo” instead.
Protests work best when the alternative is violence or the threat there of.
We got the worker rights by killing owners, gay rights by riot, civil rights by armed minorities, etc.
So protesting is useless?
Only if there is no impact. Protests must disrupt enough people to be effective.
Ideally. Yes. But not always. Sometimes just changing enough people's minds, or educating those who witness the protest can be enough.
You’re right.
Armed resurrection it is.
Ok, I know what you meant, but is armed resurrection regrowing a severed limb or coming back to life with a couple of AKs?
Hahaha, fuck that’s a dog pants sort of question now isn’t it.
Maybe it’s when you have just an arm left and the rest of you grows back from that arm?
lol
Disrupt the means of production, transportation, and sales of goods. Protest by stopping rail lines, air ports, and highways. Violence won't solve anything, but messing up the flow of goods is going to put the biggest spotlight on your cause.
Violence won't solve anything, but starving people (specifically poor people) will?
