    Which of these 23 links backs up the claim that “people only respond to violence,” or, paraphrasing, non-violent resistance is ineffective?

    I tried to skim a couple, but the synopsis on one was simply a recounting of black power tactics from the 70s, and another was a wiki page about the radical flank effect, which actually referenced the book I linked to support the claim that having a violent radical flank appeared to have no positive effect. Other references sometimes found a positive effect, but I can’t really compare the merits of the sources.

    Honestly, having a pile of obscure links to whip out in favor of political violence is, at a minimum, odd.

      All of them.

      If you think Civil Rights was won with flowers and rainbows, it means your privilege is showing.

      I don’t give two shits what a racist thinks is odd.
