I don't mean to be disrespectful, but are you stupid? A protest made in a place where nobody can see it is pointless. You do it to be seen by everyone else. That's why, making everyone else life and routine harder with your protest is the most effective way of being noticed. Sure, nobody wants a traffic jam because there are people protesting school shootings and the lack of gun controls, but you know what? Being a kid and getting shot sucks way more. Oh, you don't like to be late for work? Why those pesky public transport workers are not working? Oh, you say they have slave wages? Not being able to eat or pay rent sucks way more than being late one day. You get the point, protests are made always when something sucks for someone, and the methods are way more effective when you can communicate your issue in a non ignorable way. PC protests are very ignorable.
