Ivan's explainer of why you should bother and go to protest rallies.
1. If people living under an authoritarian regime do nothing, it solidifies, and a few years later you (or your family member) find yourself in a war with some state or another. Or in a famine. Or in a genocide.
2. Coming out on a peaceful protest is a way to avoid item 1 without violence. But for it to work, the numbers must be overwhelming. It may take several times.
So come out to get counted. It's not hard.
