Can ask people living under absolute monarchies and "dictatorships" and see in democracies also, how little regarding freedom (pk liberty) is possible through peaceful action. The gangsterments that infringe on liberty, use threat of violence and force to do the infringement. Ross is a good example. The founders of that very same gangsterment that incarcerated him, established their fake freedom paradise through an armed insurrection - not peacefully petitioning the King of England! Immediately afterwards, they made it illegal to stage the same violent, illegal insurrection they had just staged - even by peaceful action - and that prohibition remains to this day!😂 Nothing significant regarding government and politics can be changed by peaceful action! Don't fool yourself and others!☝
Peaceful, not harmless. You should study the difference between the two.
No better study case than Ross Ulbricht to demonstrate that difference and its unfortunate ineffectiveness! So many others we've been forced to study - Assange, Manning, Snowden, Bundy, Waco, various contested secessions worldwide, countless names of Asian dissidents most in the West don't even know, peaceful protest action in America, Europe, China, Russia, Belarus, Myanmar, et cetera... All peaceful action commandos - online and off - rather ineffective in stopping any abusive gangsterment activity, even in so called democracies. In nearby Myanmar though, once the protestors that survived machine gunning of their peaceful not harmless actions, finally switched to armed actions against their quite normal, common, violence-backed form of gangsterment. That , as usual, seems to be going much more effectively at being not harmless than their peaceful action did.🤔
your knowledge of history is shallow and one dimensional.
Peaceful, not harmless. Know the difference. It matters. nostr:nevent1qqsf9lgkuhgsjmaqc9dg8d2lshlsnf4qwcmk8dq55kat89ukagwp00spz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9upzp57hgyjdm76mm3sm3uvdzlpnxkamf7x8zxp2xhhzwv22fxjwk7caqvzqqqqqqy9gsahh
