Yes, but my point (implied, not stated) is that they don't really need counter-protestors. They run the world, after all. Given that context, you can't draw any kind of equivalence between progressive demonstrations and counter-demonstrations. They enemy only turns to mass reactionary vigilantism when they have a real fear of losing power or of seeing their power diminished, anyway.
