Those non-violent protests shook them so bad they wanted to charge non-violent Quaker protestors with terrorism.

I called for a massive peaceful protest that, occasionally, takes a shot.

Yeah, the point of a peaceful protest is meant as a neutral option, just to show that a large group exists who has some demand, and if the demand is not met it will escalate, either via disruption to the economy with strikes or disruption to society with violence. It shouldn't be blamed on protesters if it ends up escalating that way, because the protest was meant as the warning. Most people wouldn't blame a country that has repeatedly warned a neighbor to stop annexing it's land for fighting a war with them. If the country never went farther than warnings then they would all be empty threats. Somehow protests are thought of differently though, and if one turns violent it's blamed on the protesters and not the government for basically completely ignoring every protest movement in recent memory.

There's two episodes in the podcast Cool People who did Cool Things that talks about basically that in regards to the violent wing of the nonviolent civil rights movement. You need both.

A massive peaceful march from home to home of owner-class individuals. With a little occasional shots, as a treat?

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Heavily armed and peaceful
