Essentially yes, the current action kind of jumps the bullet and puts the horse in front of the cart. Actions are usually like the third step in the process when you have actual demands and things that you want to accomplish that came from months of planning.

I have mixed feelings about it to be honest. The people that engage in certain protests will be riled up and angry in the moment but over the next few days. They will just go back to their day to day lives and not move on with that energy to work towards solutions and that pisses me off so much. I can't work with those type of people. If you are going to be passionate and angry enough to protest and march. Follow it up and work with different groups to actually accomplish something concrete. It ends up just being an empty gesture at the end of the day.
