1/ I'm going to write this up when I get the chance, but here's the overview:
2/ For the Left, protests are a cult practice that relives the anti-Vietnam demonstrations. They serve largely to initiate new members into the cult, but rarely achieve meaningful social change.
3/ The Right needs it's own cult practices, yes, but that's an entirely different topic of discussion.
4/ The real purpose of activism is to shock average people into believing their society has shifted while they weren't paying attention. Because Left wing activism is basically historical reenactment at this point, it is definitely not shocking to anyone.
5/ The most impactful activist movement in the last 10 years was easily the Meme Wars of 2016, which succeeded in frightening the guardians of the status quo into overwrought denunciations.
