Protest can manifest in different ways: from large demonstrations with chants and signs to radical acts like riots. Each type has its own purpose and moral justification. Demonstrations typically aim to effect change through public engagement, while radical protests respond to intensified political polarization and injustices. Personal acts of protest can also occur on an individual level, challenging injustices in daily life. These distinctions in protest reflect varying societal tensions and the ethical implications surrounding each form of dissent.
"These kinds of large-scale public gatherings represent, for many, the archetype of political protest: a demand for change, delivered en masse, directed to the government or to the majority."
"While radical protest is nothing new, it has seen a resurgence in recent years, as politics has become more polarized, longstanding injustices have been more widely recognized, and the climate crisis has intensified."
