Apparently, no amount of complaining, begging, and letters to Congress are going to fix it so, here we are.
There are other actions available before advocating for killing. Let’s focus on those first, eh?

Never did such a thing. Lying should not be necessary to prove a point.

I’m very confused about what you’re claiming. Are you saying I somehow edited a comment’s user?
Regardless, I’m not using multiple accounts to… argue with myself?
If a comment author changed username, I would be dubious of the platform you’re using to view this thread. Could be an issue with an app you’re using.

Are you talking about enkers’s comment? I saw their response, which was clearly meant for me and responded. Then they deleted that comment and moved it to where they intended to put it, so I did the same.

Here’s the methodologies of the book

I couldn’t get past the 4th example of “non-violence” without laughing at how wildly revisionist they are. While each of these had non-violent components, none of them would have succeeded without violence.
I believe the violent aspects of these resistances are considered and included in the overall analysis in the book I linked.
I think you may be jumping to conclusions when you see something that doesn’t immediately fall into your own views. Those examples are clearly a simplified and truncated set to quickly get the point across for the purpose of an “About Us” page while there is lots of in-depth information available throughout the site.
If you have qualms with their findings or data, you’d be better off taking it up with them instead of me. I don’t purport to be an expert on this subject. I am only relaying that there is plenty of credible research, data, and analysis that shows that non-violent resistance is effective.

The book itself is based on multiple studies. Here is the first part of the second paragraph for the book’s description:
Combining statistical analysis with case studies of specific countries and territories […]
The website has some other studies referenced and such. It kinda seems that you barely opened either of the links.

“anecdotes”? Yes, you have clearly missed a lot. There’s lots available and easy to find. I don’t think you need me to hold your hand.
Here’s a full dataset if you want: dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=…

Non-violence != Pacifism
A person can be an advocate for non-violence and not be a pacifist. No need to conflate the two, particularly when people have so much hate and vitriol for any perceived pacifism.
- Comment on Looking for answers 1 week ago:
This whole UHC/Luigi thing has really outlined how dangerously toxic Lemmy is. I mean “dangerous” very literally, too. It should not incite the amount of vitriol I have received because I dared to say “I don’t like killing”.

Well, when you only look at that one image alone and not any of the rest of the information and studies that accompany it, I can see why you’d make that hasty judgement.
Maybe go read more of the vast amounts of information available on it: www.nonviolent-conflict.org/…/civil-resistance/

You’re jumping the gun and assuming a lot.
- Comment on Looking for answers 1 week ago:
There’s a lot of evidence that says that non-violent resistance is more often more effective than violent-based resistance.
Can’t grab the source info link at the moment, but this video talks about it.

The person seen shooting the guy in the video is a murderer. That is clear as day.
- Comment on It's true 1 week ago:
I’m just concerned about the lack of acknowledgement that this was a murder and the glorification of killing. Like I said before, I don’t see why we can’t feel good about what this has accomplished so far while also acknowledging that murder and killing is bad. It just seems like a mindless mob rather than a rally behind an ideology backed with logic.
- Comment on It's true 1 week ago:
That’s definitely a very succinct way of putting it. Thanks. I’ll think on that.
Though, the second example is definitely an intentional misinterpretation, since I never said anything that should be reasonably interpreted that way.
Other than that, does this work too?
- Comment on It's true 1 week ago:
I do blame the monstrous predators of our fucked up healthcare system that ruin and end people’s lives to make a profit.
I also don’t like that someone had to be killed in response.
I don’t blame the guy, but I also believe that killing is wrong.

Why does not wanting people killed mean I’m a centrist?
