History had seen its fair share of scapegoating.  Whenever the Czar wanted to draw attention from bleeding his subjects, that was a good time for an old fashioned pogrom against “them”.  Quiescence is seen as weakness.  There is power in numbers, so IMHO being out there to make allies… to show the world we’re not going anywhere except where we want to go, is important.  Persistence of an idea  is what historically leads to societal change.  I’ve heard the conversations of coworkers and family who decry how society is changing, and how that unsettles them.  Obviously those who came before us have already made a difference.
