They'll either keep it quite or make a huge investigation and issue out of this.
Gender reveal parties really starting to get unique here....oh well whoopsie!
Spontaneous Nazi Combustion
Nothing to see here, nature just did that. 😏
Keep in mind that on average over the last century, nonviolent resistance is more likely to succeed than violent resistance (East Timor, People's Power Revolution in the Philippines, etc.). It's all a numbers game- the more people actively supporting resistance, the more likely the resistance is to succeed, and you'll have far more sign-ups when you prioritize nonviolent methods.
(Can't exactly say that I condemn this, but I'll take democracy over revenge/"justice" any day of the week)
This is something that I have thought about. While I am ignorant to the examples you gave, I was wondering, were there violent resistances happening at the same time? Like the civil rights movement in the US you had a more peaceful movement along side a more violent one, in a similar manner to ghandi, while he was preaching peaceful resistance, there were more violent groups at the same time. I know it's easy to come across as being a dick in forums like this, but I'm genuinely asking.
Most successful instances of revolution included a threat, or use, of violence. IE: Blank Panthers in the US, IRA in Ireland, the citizens of Italy, etc...
Anyone who thinks non-violent revolution is possible is ignorant to the majority of human history. Is it possible? Sure, probably. Is it likely? No, far from it.

Specifically in the Philippines, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (yes they had MILF flags) as well as the maoist New People's Army also fought the government before and after the time of the People's Power Revolution.
- The MILF and the NPA both started violent rebellion in the 1960s or earlier (like, arguably, since spanish colonial period)
- The People's Power Revolution popped up in ~1982 and overthrew the dictatorship in 1986
- The MILF continued fighting until they succeeded in gaining an autonomous muslim state (imagine Utah if the church got to run it their own way) in 2014
- The NPA continues to fight to this day
Thank you. I do love the MILF flags haha. It's what I was thinking of, peaceful protests being given as the alternative to violence, are accepted by the ruling class, maybe as a means to placate.

America does not recognize peaceful protest. They are calling them terrorists. Act accordingly.

The destruction of property while sparing lives is a form on non-violent resistance.
