It will. It’ll finally grow back now.

Problems is that people are just kind of seeing “3.5%” and they’re not actually listening to the details behind it.

The 3.5% is a sign that you’re organizing effectively. The number in and of itself is not the goal.

Also, the research noted that, once an authoritarian regime starts to crack down on protests, that well organized machine usually has to flip to other nonviolent tactics like general strikes, shutdowns, and pressuring regime supporters to join the resistance.

Every right you have was taken from those in power with the violence and blood of workers

MLK, Susan B. Anthony, and Cézar Chávez would disagree with that statement.

Obstruction and resisting authoritarian rules are key, but when looking at the sum of violent and nonviolent movements, the nonviolent movement had a higher percentage of wins.

And when researched looked into that finding, they learned that nonviolent actions were more successful at attracting allies, and violent resistance played into authoritarians hands. Authoritarians want to use “protection” as a way to stop resistance.

Grow up dude

Can we dial it down? This is Lemmy, not X. We don’t need to treat each other poorly in order to have a conversation.

What was new was the quantification of participation.

The domain was owned by a company that was using it for Gawker-like blog spam for several years, but Rose just bought the domain back 2 months ago and they’re getting ready to relaunch.

Actually, her research says the complete opposite. Violence significantly lowered the odds of being successful.

The research didn’t say “mass protests and they’re out.” It simply shows the key characteristics that make a resistance more likely to be successful. And nonviolence, a focused message, and high participation are a good way to increase your odds.

It hasn’t launched yet

Nah, Kevin Rose reacquired Digg in March.

What are the odds that this phone filters media for its end users?

All of this research is around overthrowing authoritarian dictators.

She doesn’t claim that you need to hit 3.5% and then you’re magically able to overthrow an authoritarian government.

She notes that disciplined nonviolent resistance, focused around a concise and relatable message, is a characteristic of successful movements. And that turnout number is a common artifact of movement who are focused, strategic, and disciplined. The number in and of itself is not the goal.

Obama’s old speechwriting director just interviewed the researcher who uncovered this phenomenon. Pretty fascinating conversation about what successful authoritarian resistance movements have in common.

I hope some people are starting a project 2029 document that outlines all the bonkers people that immediately needs to be shit canned and rehired (if they’re even still available) when Trump is out.

About a quarter of homes in CA have at least one firearm.
