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. Always non-violence!
Troodo call those the fringe minority. He still doesn't see he, himself has been the violent one. Yesterday I prayed for the truckers who are still recuperating mentally and financially from the convoy's "peacefull" protest. At this point we can only type in a few words between ourselves (that fringe minority?), in hope that it will wake a blue-pilled individual. But we're here, standing. Hooray!!
I have been playing the harp of non-violent, coalitional, civil disobedience for the better part of my 57 year life. Thank you, Dr. Paul, for bringing not only the facts, and effectiveness, but the moral imperative to organize across ideologies non-violently to put a stop to the madness!
I wish but don't you think the bad guys know that ? In a technological society it requires far more than 3.5 % peaceful in my opinion. It also requires that the bad guys get scared straight
Chenoweth's research is interesting and makes me wonder about The Freedom Convoy. It looks like 1.3M Canadians would have to have supported the effort, based on the 3.5% marker. So, part of their problem was not enough people were actually in Ottawa. Further, had the numbers been greater, would Trudeau's "storm troopers" have backed off or even been deployed? And if there been greater numbers, could the government have been as successful with it's economic sanctions, i.e. freezing bank accounts etc.? Food for thought if there is another go at it.
Here in the U.S., I have no clue if we could get over 11M of us on the same page, and in the same place at the same time. Perhaps a "strike" of some sort...
Simultaneous marches in several large cities/capitals this summer with a few live speakers and a jumbotron at each and then alternate with the various live speeches across the country!!!!!!!
I think we need to be more creative, not just protesting in the street with signs, but other ways by boycotting the big businesses who are part of the problem. When they have no customers, then what?
Hasn't seemed to work much in the past 2.5 years.

That's 11 million people in the U.S that need to stand up and actively resist. We need massive, peaceful, non-compliance.

Be truculent, be non-compliant; the fanatics hate that. Make them spend energy and effort to get you to do things.
So research rediscovers that the keyboard is mightier than the gun.
1A better than 2A.

Sofa warriors win most of the time!!!

I'd like to see t least one example when freedom was won from tyrants by non-violent means. Peaceful revolution?
PASSIVE RESISTANCE RULES OK 👍
We all are forced to bow down to a guy after they burned cities in 2020.
Same holds true for voting and you don't even have to leave your house!
