I am ashamed to be Danish. Where are the mass protests of hundreds of thousands, the mass walkouts from our workplaces until our government at last respects our human dignity?
Our government has today turned the EU into a tool for total surveillance I don't know if there can be any return from. Our democratic processes have been abused, and our politicians shown to be nothing but craven, self-interested agents of control.
What about going out in front of your city hall with a poster saying no-chat-control?
You risk nothing, do you?

Unorganized, individual acts cannot change anything in the EU.

Given the legislative maze the EU has become, you can't be sure of that, but you surely gain nothing.
The conditions in Europe are quite specific, and in that environment, pan-EU legislation (except the customs union) should be optional for individual members, anything else can and will be used against the people.

one of the main reasons chat control keeps failing is because of protests all over Europe. without it, chat control may already be a thing

Individual acts can actually have more resonance, if carried out with conviction and commitment (and if the cause is just).
See Greta Thunberg; she might not have managed to save the planet yet, but she sure got the attention of the world (of course, however big a problem chat control is, climate change is a much bigger issue)
