I am guilty of pushing the 3.5% idea without making clear that that should only be considered one part of a strategy that includes direct action against the systems of oppression.

Resistance without risk or personal sacrifice is not resistance at all, period.

Mass protest is good, but means nothing without the risk and sacrifice of resistance.

Protest. Risk. Sacrifice.

Be prepared to lose and lose and lose and still fight.

The 3.5% Protest Rule Is a Dangerous Fantasy — Here’s What Resistance Actually Requires

YouTube

As I just commented on this video, it's ironic that Disney's Andor is fundamentally this idea wrapped in a Star Wars sci-fi/fantasy story.

Andor is about the personal risks and sacrifices that just a chance of building a successful resistance requires, and based on history.

Andor even explicitly states that rebellion is losing and losing and losing before the chance of success can even hope to appear.

Watch it, if you can.
