Yes, there's a long history of protest and also a history of failure, inaction and incompetence in the recent history:

Thank you for enabeling opening of the Eastern front by giving away Czechoslovakia in Munich 1938 - complete political incompetence, and what for a protest was that?
In 1938 there was a delegation from Britain in the Third Reich, where Goring assured them no war conflict is planned

A lot of French and European interests in general were threatened in Vietnam, and a lot of production was lost, so again who risked what in Vietnam, and what was the anti American hysteria about?
Were there any interests from the side of Europe, yes, but definitely not by letting Vietnam become communistic.

I don't know much about apartheid, its history, but what I assume or from what I read, it was a referendum in 1992, made amongst the white voters, who were the only ones that had the right to vote, that enabled the transition to the full democracy, I'll have to dig for the motivation to do this someday

And what?
US is a sovereign state, will you wave a fist on North Korea in Paris, wow, incredible!
The whole question of racial equality seems to be easier these days than it was, Kennedy got spitted on in certain southern states while campaigning for 1964, before the unfortunate Dallas events, yet those states were also a part of US!

This was a massive failure, but again, the main "protest" there is the unwillingness to offer armed support even when there is practical evacuation of the forces and their transition to Afghanistan

And who cares, who cared before 1989, who was the enemy?
You had Pershings in Western Germany and it wasn't bad? Was it?
Were you afraid back then, that the Soviets will burn your ass?
Was it all right back then to care about security?
Is it not in vogue now?
Are we comfortably dumb already?
Doesn't history speak a clear language?
Have we reached the world peace?

You're only getting emotional and show no real facts, please define "ignorance"
I don't care about spoiled kids protesting in the streets, its their right to do so, they wouldn't do anything worthwhile on Sunday afternoon anyway.
yet I sure care about the common sense, action and collective interests
