Nothing changes.
When I was a kid in high school, a lot of my friends were into protesting and trying to make change happen. They wanted to save the world, save the whales, save the dolphins, and most importantly stop research on nuclear activity. I didn't take part myself because frankly at the time I could have cared less about dolphins or whales. Nearly thirty years later it seems to me we still have whales, still have dolphins; We still have nuclear bombs and research and the world is still here. I'm glad I didn't waste my time.
The occupy movement was the worst. Obviously we shouldn't punish those who have worked forty years plus and climbed to the top of their chosen job field. If we failed to reward people with financial gain, we wouldn't have one tenth of what we have now. Without financial gain we would be all communists, and clearly that hasn't worked out too well.
Protest all you want. With the exception of civil rights and more rights for women, nothing really has changed.
