Have you ever participated in a protest?

[Foucaulf]

Occupy stuff in Chicago freshman year, various marches on campus (thinking of a political one and a Title IX-related one), and witnessed anti-government ones in Tunisia and France.

I'll echo the whole "slacktivism" line, but will direct it specifically at people like Alfred and Lief. Protests themselves do not lead to that much change, but it shields against cynicism and irony.
