Remember this - Whoever controls the NPCs controls everything.
The media downplay any and all opposition to the government. They try to make it seem like only a few far right racist extremists oppose the government and their policies, while the vast majority support the government and their policies.
NPCs follow the herd. They align themselves with "the good guys" so that they aren't called evil (in this case evil is far right racist extremists).
The protesters could gain control of the herd by saying the people are the good guys and the government is evil (corrupt dictators).
The key to gaining control of the herd (or control of the NPCs) is to appear like you're the larger group; you're the good guy group. The government and media control every word the NPCs read and hear on the tv and online and use them to try to appear large and the amount of protesters to appear small. The protesters are trying to appear like they're larger by literally being large amounts of people.
What are the protesters accomplishing? - The protests are showing that the opposition to the government is larger than what the media and government say. And they're attempting to appear large enough to turn the NPCs to their side. That and they're trying to make people believe that they're the good guys, and the government are the bad guys.
