I think people getting politically engaged and protesting is good even if they are layering some cringe culture thing on top of it. One of the reasons we are in this shitshow is the majority of the population just sitting around not giving a poo poo.

Costumes can even be effective but you should get a whole group together to do it, otherwise you are the one person the local news shows to mock the protest

Produce the graphs and charts that signal to the Serious Adults in the media that your policy ideas are worthy of consideration.

but seriously here's the relevant Chapo episode on this:

https://soundcloud.com/chapo-trap-house/episode-108-night-on-bald-mountain-feat-matt-bruenig-51417

It's actually pretty interesting, apparently decades ago Congress used to write their own laws and pay people to research what the various effects would be if they were enacted. And then came Reagan and they said "why should we, the members of Congress, be spending our time and effort writing laws? Is that really our job? This is something the private sector can provide." And voila a few decades later you have the current situation where think tanks are funded by corporations to write laws that give corporations tax breaks and make charts and graphs that show giving corporations tax breaks is actually cool and good, and then the congresscritters can take those pre-written bills and vote them into law before breaking to go have another fundraiser with their billionaire friends.

So nowadays if you want to have a law that funds construction of guillotines or whatever, you must first establish a think tank to write the guillotine construction act of 2017, so it's both good and important that these new think tanks are being established.
