There’s a lot of evidence that says that non-violent resistance is more often more effective than violent-based resistance.

Can’t grab the source info link at the moment, but this video talks about it.

IS Violence the Answer?

A few questions for the study:

  • What’s the data source? If they’re just doing news reports and traditional history that can hide a lot of failed non-violent protests. A non violent protest, especially one against the medias interests, is way less likely to show up in the historical record then a violent insurrection. Only the successful movements like the civil rights movement will get mentioned on the non-violent side whereas every insurrection or riot, successful or not, is captured in the historical record.

  • What’s the breakdown by method? It seems they’re including strikes in this which has a very high success rate and high occurrence, so much so it could drown out all the failed protests.
