The point of protests is to make the issue more palatable to deal with than the protests.
Being completely demure and effecting nobody is a bad protest. Make the consequences measurable.
I'm not saying effect nobody, I'm saying that the right people need to be effected. Effect the wrong people and you just make enemies.
Sorry when you can get criminally charged for trespass, the "right people" can buy themselves a big moat of real estate to insulate from protests. Sometimes the people they work with, services, and customers need to be inconvenienced.
If you can't empathise with people protesting, and you just get angry at them, maybe do some self reflection on why you can't look at the bigger picture and not take things personally.
