This is the work that's often being referenced when talking about non-violent vs violent resistance, and the 3.5% participation claim.
I don't see any references for your claims either.
I've seen these topics about this is valid or that is valid, and I don't think I quite get it. Like I can tell you if a JSON file is valid, but what would I even check to see if a person is valid? Do people go around calling each other invalid? Does anyone have an example of an invalid person? I'm missing something.
Shocked by the fursuit in an LA summer
You won't do anything about anything. Speak for yourself.
I guess this is funny for the in-group, but this kinda message is going to encourage people to stick with Trump.
The payments can become a legal liability for the processors. I believe there are federal laws that have penalties for anyone who facilitates transactions for certain prohibited goods or services. It's the same reason cannabis shops have such a hard time getting payment and banking services.
The payment processors have very little incentive to take risks here. As others have noted, there isn't much competition pressure.
EDIT: I went to find a source, and found the cannabis analogy isn't right. Seems that Visa and MasterCard really are the primary censors of the porn industry. This archived FT article went in depth. https://archive.ph/zXKuD
WHAT ARE THE MEASURES?
I too was 16 once.
I've never heard the claim that germ theory was a Native American contribution. The wiki page on its development doesn't mention Native Americans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_of_disease
Whatever happened to that lawsuit trying to block arbitrary executive tariffs? The law that Trump is using to threaten all these tariffs has a set of causes listed, something like emergency economic events, price shocks, crashes, etc. I'm sure prosecution of the president's friends is not on the list.

But that was a month ago.
I've seen at least three articles on this topic, and none of them seem to say what the sanctions are. It could be anything from denying entry to the US to freezing her bank accounts.
Which of these 23 links backs up the claim that "people only respond to violence," or, paraphrasing, non-violent resistance is ineffective?
I tried to skim a couple, but the synopsis on one was simply a recounting of black power tactics from the 70s, and another was a wiki page about the radical flank effect, which actually referenced the book I linked to support the claim that having a violent radical flank appeared to have no positive effect. Other references sometimes found a positive effect, but I can't really compare the merits of the sources.
Honestly, having a pile of obscure links to whip out in favor of political violence is, at a minimum, odd.
