Yes this is kind of pointless but it's more about being symbolic and using the energy wrapped around people's fears to stand up and show power in numbers. The protests that are going on today and tomorrow. Also of course there are anarchists that just want to run around and break **** but there are other protesters out there as well.

Are you saying it's to build a movement for the future even though the current action has no immediate point? I'm not mocking that, as if it works, it works, and making sense every second of every day is not necessary if your tactics are effective in the long term.

And the people who engage in protests are probably those more likely to be disenfranchised in general, even if they didn't have a reason to be disenfranchised. Those people are more likely to affect change than I am, but that doesn't mean they are more logical than I am.
