You should go read a book called This Non Violent Stuff’ll Get You Killed.
It’s about exactly the use and pairing of non-violent and violent protest in the American Civil Rights movement. It doesn’t support the reflexive “just be peaceful and vote” nonsense you’re peddling, and trying to pretend is what happened in Belgrade.
You sure you’re talking to the right person? I’m arguing against “be peaceful and vote” and telling off the other person for implying that’s what happened in Belgrade.
Do check out that book though - the painting of MLK as willing to endorse non-violence at the cost of the movement is simply not correct. Non-violence was a strategy used in the mid-60s for a very specific reason, but liberals want to pretend it’s the only way for any action to be legitimate.
