The self-immolation, the most non-violent form of protest, no longer works. After Aaron Bushnell that I have heard about, there ware two more attempts that I didn’t. (Matt Nelson and Samuel Mena Jr)

Recent events have shown us that violent protest still works, but it got me thinking; When was the last time someone resigned from position of power due to social pressure?

I have this hunch that shame worked in the past, but now PR departments and relentless pursuit of money has removed social acceptance from an equation.

    well, there was this.

    Still not as bad as some others have done who are still in office.

      Like the sex offenders on SCOTUS, who actually physically molested or raped women instead of a little off color humor that would be fine between good friends but could be crossing boundaries.
