Once, the streets pulsed with a vibrant energy, a symphony of voices demanding change. Now, a disheartening void hangs heavy in the air. The signs are fading, the chants have softened to whispers, and the once-mighty tide of protest is receding into a stagnant pool. Protest fatigue has crept in like a slow insidious disease, stealing the passion that fueled these movements. The promises made, both to themselves and to future generations, now echo hollowly in the empty streets. Is this the end of a movement, or merely a pause before the next eruption?

- What happens next remains to be seen.
- But one thing is certain: the silence on our streets speaks volumes about the fragility of social change.
The question is not whether protest will continue, but what new challenges it will face. Will we find new ways to fight of protest? Or will the fatigue deepen? The answers lie in the hearts and minds of those who dare to demand change.

This evolution was gradual, a creeping tide. Technology, surveillance, and propaganda played their parts in this slow decline.
