Huh? I think you've reached a reduction ad absurdium that would suggest quietism as the best policy, you claim:

protests aren't meaningful unless they get results but protests also have to start somewhere but these starts have no results so better not to start

Do you really expect a singular protest which will change the world order over night? It might give us some personal satisfaction to claim others are ineffective and weak, but in the annals of history, that amounts to even less than a sign bearing march. If you really want to make an impact put forward some positive prescriptions, like the strikes you mentioned, I agree that actual strikes would be a good step. I hope you are actively sharing these recommendations to people who can organize and not just putting forward diffuse ineffectual critique to strangers on hacker news
