I mean, this isn't just a social media thing. It was part of the reason there was a writer's strike in Hollywood and they did manage to accomplish something. I don't see why protests/strikes/politics would be useless here.
You're right, but I was making a point, as social media is most often where you hear people calling for revolution.
I'll agree that strikes can work, especially employment strikes - but that's usually because there's a specific, private entity to target, an employer to back into the metaphorical corner.
As far as protesting/striking against the system, you need only look at the strikes and protests relating Palestine to know what kind of force such a revolutionary strike would be met with.
