Go re-read "Letter from a Birmingham Jail". The relevant bit has been quoted elsethread.

If you're talking about civil disobedience, then this taxi strike is not an example and ultimately not of much importance or purpose.

Immigration and customs officials refusing to follow the ban order would be actual disobedience and far more effectual in signal and lives changed.

Civil disobedience is not a zero-sum game, and there are huge network effects in people protesting, striking, etc.

This happens all the time with people unused to protest. "Protests doesn't do anything", "Other things are more efficient", "Their demands are vague", "People should work on making policy instead of protesting", etc.

Network effects, people, network effects.

What network effects? Awareness was an issue before the internet but we have instant global news coverage now, so what does this particular strike (which is not civil disobedience) do?
