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.🤔
