The self-immolation, the most non-violent form of protest, no longer works. After Aaron Bushnell that I have heard about, there ware two more attempts that I didn’t. (Matt Nelson and Samuel Mena Jr)
Recent events have shown us that violent protest still works, but it got me thinking; When was the last time someone resigned from position of power due to social pressure?
I have this hunch that shame worked in the past, but now PR departments and relentless pursuit of money has removed social acceptance from an equation.
What evidence is there that violent protest works?
the independence of the United States of America.
Also the countries that were violently oppressed by imperialism and had to fight to gain their independence.
France
Just the whole country or is the a specific movement you’re referring to?
French violently overthrowing the aristocracy.
France regularly has.protests against government abuses, and they often end violently.
Basically the whole country.
