I’m not giving up in the slightest. My opinion is that we should put our effort where it can be most effective, and given the mass media environment, peaceful protest can be rendered inert by simply not covering the story.
The first 50501 protest drew a purported 72,000 people at 67 events across the country, but hardly anybody seems to know that even occurred.
Provocateurs injected into BLM burned down a police station to discredit it as a peaceful movement and streisanded it so hard that people still think that police departments in California actually got defunded over it.
When peaceful protest have been criminalized, activists have nothing to gain by keeping their protests peaceful.
