I feel like “persuasion” is just a canard in this setting. People who need to be convinced to support the most basic and obvious calls for justice, or will be persuaded away from that support by inconvenience, are not persuadable people, and their demands to be convinced seem motivated not out of a true desire to be convinced to support justice, but rather a desire to establish themselves as the ones who must be convinced before justice can be achieved.

People who complain protests aren’t persuading people have no answer for why our government hasn’t responded to the clear will of the majority. If persuasion were sufficient the U.S. government would be demanding a ceasefire. It’s not, so people graduated to disruption.
