When you hear about protests in the news, do you feel inspired to act, and how does that look for you?

Won’t definitely feel inspired, but will try to understand from their perspective to conclude from my view

Peaceful protests make me feel content to live in an open democracy. Inspiration depends on the cause, but protest coverage encourages me to understand different perspectives and form an opinion.

Usually not, as I mostly disagree with the causes they espouse.

I do, especially if the issue is regarding the environment, equality, human and non-human animal rights etc. I'll often show support online and offline via discussions, donations, sharing their media etc.

There are far too many people who join these groups and rally have other agendas and like to just cause anarchy and get offended over things that do not concern them. They probably don't even understand it in most cases.

generally with the current wave of protests, I feel put off. I feel that they a fascist mob seeking to silence opposition, not seek positive change.

I don’t feel particularly inspired to act. I mostly feel apathetic about protests, thinking that they are mostly meaningless.

Most protests are fuel/oil related gluing them self's to roads that they proberbly drive on for work , the hi vi's jackets they wear are made using oil , a stupid act that could cause riots and wars

I usually do feel inspired, if the cause is a just one such as for the environment, equality, animal rights etc. I may increase my donations to such causes, share positive information on them, talk about them with others, and increase my general support.

I do feel inspired to stand up for what I believe in because there might be other who feel the same way

It would depend what it is. When I see people blocking traffic to stop climate change its pretty ironic.

Again we would be better off focusing on education, science and philanthropy to help us innovate.

Social issues can be tricky as you cant force people to think a certain way a better approach is more open debate where people feel safe to discuss edgy ideas at no risk of loosing thier job or reputation.

But to protest is a right and should always be aloud

No... I think they are pointless, often disruptive, causing more chaos than they are worth.

it depends on the protest . certain topics i feel strongly about that do inspire me to act . however this is a rare occasion.

I feel inspired to try to be a good person and to help to achieve these goals

It depends entirely on the cause, and on the protest. A lot of causes rallied by social acitivists have been hijacked for personal or political gain, often to the detriment of the cause itself.

Depends if it’s a peaceful protest and what it is about. I don’t agree with blocking traffic and gluing yourself to roads.

Depends on the cause, I'm partial to Scottish independence

It doesn't inspire me to necessarily 'act', but it does provoke a sense of outlook on how I can make a change.

No, I feel angered by young people's lack of focus. They need to focus on important things such as school and getting a job, or starting a family.

I do not feel inspired to react the same way but I don't think they are out of line either

I do feel inpsired to act, but I usually don't go on marches

I feel discouraged that these people get a vote in the government. They should go back to school. But they're out in the world. I feel inspired to cry for the future of this country.

It makes me feel inspired to act and I feel hatred toward the law about protesting as i feel it is essential to get the thoughts of the public, not just the bourgeoisie

Yeah somewhat it is nice to hear that for example people are protesting a genocide in Palestine unfortunately they get attacked by the police in both uk and America!

Woke nonesense. Hate marches. Deport the lot of em.

I feel inspired to stop alot of the anti-british protesting

Yes I think everyone should be socially aware economically as it is the most important factor to our economy (households, workforce ect)

I don't see the point in it as it doesn't tend to change much but I also don't really mind as long as the protests stop affecting other people who are still trying to work.

I believe in a more civilized approach, I would never join a social protest as its seen as lower class action in my family and is dangerous

yes i do feel inspired to protest what i believe in.

I will likely never go protesting. I am too cowardly.

a lot of the time it inspires me, however a lot more protests need to be more accessible for those who cannot afford to miss work or education to participate

It depends what the protest is on but in general it isn't so effective
