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

  Anyone who makes peaceful revolution impossible makes violent revolution inevitable.

  List all the regimes that weren’t brought down by peaceful protests and singing kumbaya. No worries we will wait.

    Czechoslovakia’s Velvet Revolution was one instance, assuming you squint and ignore all the NATO soft power involved.

    The 2018 and 2024 Armenian Revolutions also technically qualify. Although, the fact that they had two in six years raises questions of their effectiveness.

      2024 Armenian Revolutions

      A “Revolution” lol that didn’t do anything and was hardly even noticed by the locals in Yerevan.

    Um, you sure you don’t mean all the regimes that “were” brought down by peaceful protests and singing kumbaya? Either way I really don’t have the desire or time to look any of that up for you.
