So just a couple of weeks ago, I was, you know, scrolling on X as I do, thinking about the world and realized, you know, I haven't seen many protests lately.

They've kind of calmed down. There hasn't been much ridiculousness. Like there wasn't a huge protest after the inauguration. I was in D.C. I feel like I would have noticed or heard.

You know, the protests about Elon Musk have been embarrassingly small and have just been fodder for

mockery on social media. Like, it's actually been a bit peaceful. Maybe we would even say it's been

a bit boring. And of course, because this is the way the world works, the moment I thought that,

I started seeing protests literally everywhere, unfortunately, which made me think about how effective

these protests actually are. Like, what have they accomplished over the last five to ten years

when they have been dominating our social and political landscape? And unsurprisingly,

they have actually done more harm than good, turning people away from the causes that they

are trying to promote. And in my eyes, the best or worst example of this is how these radical activists,

these radical protesters, have utterly destroyed environmentalism as a universal American cause.

And that is what we need to talk about today.

We also need to spend a few minutes obviously making fun of these insane protests that are now popping up.

And then we need to figure out how to push real solutions through on issues like the environment.

Now, before I start making fun of all these protesters, make sure that you are following

Now, in case you missed it, which if you live on X and social media like I do, I don't know how you would,

but last week was International Women's Day, which obviously means that women around the world felt the need to go out into the streets and march and protest.
