On April 5, widespread protests against the Trump administration spanned the U.S. and parts of Europe, yet they received limited media attention. Critics dismissed them as ineffective due to a lack of immediate results. However, the article argues that the effects of such activism are often indirect and not immediately visible. The writer reflects on how protests can impact major corporations, such as Tesla and its stock. Historical examples from past demonstrations show that activism can influence global negotiations, especially for underrepresented nations. Ultimately, the article highlights the importance of understanding the broader implications of protests beyond immediate outcomes.
Tracking those indirect and unhurried impacts, trying to offer a more complex map of the world of ideas and politics, has been at the heart of my writing.
Protests around the world and in Seattle...encouraged the global south nations inside to stand up and refuse a raw deal from the global north.
