Gonna be honest with you. Violence has been the driving force for change for our entire human history. Non-violent change and action is a privilege afforded to us by the rights given to us by those who have laid down their lives to give us the assurance we can fight protected by our laws. But when the people are no longer served by those laws and instead the teeth turn inward… Then the people have a right to stand up for themselves and fight for that protection once more.
Also, can we talk about the fact that non-violent action is literally a threat by a large mob? Why do you think it works? It is a what-if scenario. The state wonders what will happen if this giant mob of people gets pushed further. It’s a threat.
