The most common misconception is that people who demonstrate or protest are against something.
The truth is, for decades activists have been building a public awareness campaigns based on the love of freedom.

I don't think that is universally true, unfortunately.
I am under the impression that representative democracy as we know has slowly shifted from promoting and defending ideas, to promoting and defending a representative. and a consequence of that is that it creates a false dichotomy, because people will be in favor of/against a representative. while ideas provide a more granular basis of consensus.
I actually think people agree far more onany issues. and they are being distracted by a popularity contest
Agree!
However my work is focused on promoting the idea of separating money and state through adoption of #Bitcoin, building public awareness towards the destructive nature of fiat money and building community around peaceful resistance.
