Non-violence was successfully used in the US during the civil rights protests. The quote feels correct for those protesting because change is slow and there are certainly some people without conscious. The non-violence movement displayed very clearly the oppressor and the oppressed and it eventually swayed public opinion enough to lead to lasting political change.

The brutal imperial empire that is yankkkee has many heads. It is a cartel owned by the rich of the world. It is a tool to keep the rich in power and it only serves the interest of capital. We go through cycles of pacification. Remember it is all about managing perception. In the dog pile only one !d!ot comes out with the ball. We like our lambs of sacrifice... always worried about lone wolves.... they know the can curate the movement and in the monopoly owned school books they write the story of how it goes. We can’t see past our nose while they have plans from decades ago. Life is merely but a dream ya’ll…

Last time I checked change was fast and only moving in one direction. The USA is committing a genocide. 40+ years in the imperial core and all I have witnessed is decay. I also question those who think things have improved. In the USA slavery is still legal it is just obfuscate behind the prison walls of poor $$$ boys and girls who never had a chance to begin with. The milk toast opinions of some I find dangerous and shallow

I don't think the civil rights movement was at all "non-violent". just not "mass violence".

outside the white washing it's gotten. there was lots of violent and "silent violence"(using paint "bombs") to disrupt and force attention to the needs of the many. from the desires of the few.

Why do you think suburbs exist and car centrick societies with cameras everywhere... If violence never worked, why do they spend so much time making our infrastructure so difficult to navigate. Under the magnification glass like cattle moving through the stalls only to have the air gun placed on the back of our necks. People isolated then they kill themselves. I see the world I live in as it is not how I wish it were. Our ability to adapt is our strength and our weakness.
