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

Mostly peaceful, really, same as these. But obviously when you have literally millions of people protesting, there’s bound to be some not-quite-ok stuff happening in all the chaos. Property damage, stealing, that sort of thing.

There’s really no way to have zero violence at this scale, although I’d say there’s a distinction between property damage and violence (one is done to objects and the other to people).

Don’t forget we remember MLK protests as mostly peaceful too, but the media did not portray them that way back then either. The copaganda is ever present.
