Or I'm experiencing some other kind of inequality, inequity, lack of justice that often is tied financially but is some sort of thing.
And so why would you say that one country, so this kind of level of inequality exists in different forms all over the world.
What do you think might make one country more likely to deal with that problem via protests as opposed to deal with that problem via some other route, maybe waiting out elections, maybe some other kind of disagreement with the government that isn't a protest form, maybe you go on a boycott or something like that,
or a sit-in, what do you think would make a country more prone to protests?
Like less likelihood that you're going to get thrown into jail or more of a belief that it's going to actually do something probably, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, you're absolutely right.
The general set of research on protests is around, look, there's two reasons, you know, kind of two big levers.
If you're like, is this society going to lead in a protest?
Like, yes, there's some grievance that's particularly bad.
It turns out that it can be equally bad in different places.
You know, the level of inequality or the lack of justice in one country versus another or one county versus another is roughly the same.
And we do see protests in one area and we don't in another.
And the big drivers there are, yeah, do you think the protest is going to make a difference?
And then the two levers that social scientists have focused on are, one, individually, am I upset enough that I'm going to protest?
Sort of like, what's my individual rational choice calculation on whether or not I should protest, whether it's going to do something, whether I really care enough about this issue?
And then the other one is this social aspect, which is protests happen.
It's a collective action.
And so protests tend to happen when I believe other people are going to protest, too.
And this gets to the point I think, Bob, you just made, which is, you know, how how likely am I to get what I'm protesting for?
