Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed

  P.C. this is article about the four mentioned protest in the article, and literally the second paragraph is about clashes.

  Which states

  Clashes break out as police try to disperse the crowds and eight demonstrators are killed.

  Police killing protesters makes a violent movement?

  They’re not exactly an armed group of combatants coordinating attacks.

  Working with Maria Stephan, a researcher at the ICNC, Chenoweth performed an extensive review of the literature on civil resistance and social movements from 1900 to 2006 – a data set then corroborated with other experts in the field.

  Research.

  How to blow up a pipeline has a chapter on the topic.

  Research?

  But you knew that with your high standards of verifying information right?

  Do your standards measure up to that?

  I’m not the one making claims. If you want to make a claim cite a source. The original poster hadn’t done that until I called him out, then he went and edited it to add a source.
