    The 3.5% rule.

    Non violent resistance has a higher success rate when compared to violent resistance. But non violent resistance does not mean the resistance movement will be bloodless. Authoritarians will respond to both a violent and non violent movement with aggression.

      Yeah, that “rule” is bullshit. It’s cherry picked at best.
