No Kings Protest, Minnesota

This is incredible.

It would be more incredible if those people were armed and swarming the studios of radical fascist media and beating the hell out of pro-trumo.talking heads.

Standing around waving signs and cheerleading shitty chants does nothing and will be forgotten in a week.

History has overwhelming shown that non-violence is more successful than violence. You do you.
The more I learn about history, the more I learn that violence changed things 99% of the time since before the Roman Empire.
Into the exact same regime with a new color it paint?
Can you give one example where non-violence caused actual long standing change with 0 violence?
How about several?
The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

BBC

Youre really going to post the most controversial study there is because they cherry picked data?

Please give me one actual example of where the people toppled the government and enacted change… through non-violent protesting.

Moving the goal posts yeah yeah yeah. Give me an article or proof then of 1 single thing that caused real, permanent change, like I originally asked. Not some mass “several” article.

No.

I won’t be sealioned.

Norway leaving the union with Sweden in 1905 is famously one of the very few times secession was done non-violently. But to be fair there was large political pressure from Swedish socal democrats that urged the king not to go to war and the Sweds and Norwegians liked each other and remained good friends and allies afterwards.

Maybe if both parties start to work on the relationship and get friendly right away, then you could maybe have a peaceful resolution in 50 to 100 years time.

Also after
Oh by saying “since before” I meant to imply “until today” hahaha
Ah makes sense haha
Honestly “and forever” >w<
