It's best form of protest there is, by not engaging. And deep down you know the source of all suffering is desire, so why not abstain from and carnal and worldly pursuits so as to achieve nirvana so your soul can be freed from the cycle of torment? There are no political solutions, no lasting personal achievements, the earth will be subsumed by the sun, and the universe swallowed by the void. The only real salvation is realizing this material world is transitory and ephemeral and to just let go and be.
