No they aren’t. Not all protests are good. It is essential that political disagreements don’t capsize the society we live in. Any protests that can’t be ignored is essentially mob rule
Democracy is mob rule (and therefore authoritarian) where the mob is organized by vote. Democracy is just an relatively egalitarian way to create a mob.

Better to be ruled by the majority consent than minority fiat. Neither is perfect. But the latter is far far worse.
Thank god for the mob that Marched on Washington in 1963 then.
I’m so glad we couldn’t ignore this fine protest too
