If you believe nonviolent protest is more effective, then simply advocate for it. The "don't give them an excuse" line is disingenuous victim blaming. They make shit up. We see it every single day, so please stop embarrassing yourself.
"Our behavior doesn’t drive theirs."
@EndicottAuthor @anolandria how many fascist regimes has nonviolent protest toppled?
Nonviolent protest only ever works when there is a credible threat of actual violence. When those "ceding power" can point to a nonviolent movement as the reason. MLK isn't effective without the specter of Malcom X.
You can't nonviolent your way out of violence.
