What would you say to people who have been arrested, beaten, or in some cases, even lost their lives in protests like these and those before it?

That its good on them. Unlike these FB virtual protesters who will not put virtual mask and put their virtual health in danger to show they "stand" for something.

That they stood up for something and paid a high price for it which made their protest more potent to many people?

That they won or lost by the cost they imposed on the other guy, not the cost that was imposed on them. If they could have imposed the same cost without actually dying, they would still have won or lost.
