So because there isn't immediate visible change, they aren't effective?
The need for immediate gratification works to the favor of the authoritarian.
It's also the same urge which draws people to authoritarianism.
Yes. The entire point of direct action is to have an immediate and noticeable effect.
A protest is meant to disrupt the status quo in such a way that the establishment is forced to meet demands or else we continue to bring things to a standstill.
If your protest is not disruptive of the status quo, it is being ignored.
