All valid this isn't a trick question I'm truly curious if it was up to you how would civil rights leaders have gone about protesting? Or a group of people that just experienced genocide?

Because in your framework they would be disruptors so what is the right way to do things?

I was raised by a cult may be dead soon I dont't have any sense of agency anything I do feels wrong so I'm truly curious






Civil rights leaders both protested and engaged in civil disobedience. Protests and civil disobedience are not the same. Protest is allowed, civil disobedience will get you arrested.

When things are wrong there is no right way to do things. You just have to act with your morals and what you believe is right. If enough people agree with you then things change. Or you just ahead of your time and will be looked back on as a savant.

I'm sorry you grew up in a cult. One of my hobbies is investigating local cults. (Legacy Center in NC)

I don't know you're circumstances about your health or if there's a third to your life, but if I was going to be dead soon that would give me the more freedom of agency than if I had more to lose.

People think there is some magic planned to protesting, like you can protest or engage in civil disobedience and just the right way and this hinders people from doing any action.

If you see something wrong, do something. That's all there is to it. I stood up and screamed at representative David Price when he attended his speech at a local University at the beginning of the Iraq war. I just knew it was right, was it effective,? Hell no. Did it make me feel good? Hell yes.
