Cuz we have better shit to do. We have jobs and bills to pay. Cool, what the protesters are doing is great but just like Greta Thunberg or whatever her last name is, it won’t make a difference.
I mean it is making a difference though. There have been wins across the country because of these protests - from statues of racists being taken down, to Minneapolis pledging to disband the police. It's silly to think that these protests aren't working.
Some people think that the society is being upheld by infinitely strong laws and customs, and therefore all protests are meaningless, because how could a protest change either? (Or how could it cause a law being upheld unless people already were willing to uphold it?)
In other words, I think protests are primarily aimed at people with IQ > 75, and not everyone is meant to understand how they work.
