I would say that worrying that the protest appears non violent is a waste of time. If the protestors refuse to get violent to lend sympathy for the boot, then violence can be manufactured. It happens alot in protesting, and the whole shtick of the non violent protest is it REQUIRES media buy in. If the media is captured by oligarchs for example then the message will be drowned out or perverted. Even a neutral reading of “this protest happened, it has 1 billion people in it, now to John for the weather” the protest will fail.

Are you talking about the report or ….

Armed protestors

And that pushing apparently includes activities the report defines as “nonviolent”

So then by any reasonable metric it was a failure. Just that the failure was at the leadership level and had zero chance at success because of that no matter what happened

Well… ok… then let’s do the “NONVIOLENT” protests and stop doing these sit ins.

Listen if it’s true, but the democrats are not willing to fight the results, then i don’t care. At that point the cheated election becomes legitimate. And Democratic leaders are on their non intervention kick, probably either because they are complicit, or want to really rub it in to the disenfranchised voters that It voters the blue no matter who, or else it gets the tyrant again.

Without huge media buy in, a billion people is just a number they throw out. I don’t see any change from the number one protest on the list. I don’t think protests are working, even as i still go to them.

He’s saying that if the police don’t bother then the protest has no teeth.

Thank you!

Oh! And my gun range ear muffs with high frequency dampening for when they use the sonic weapons.

I mean thats how the Black Panthers operated, it was super successful, so much so that even the NRA helped pass gun laws over it.
