Well that’s a really, really easy thing to say. Curious if you’ve actually thought through how you’d go about that. If there weren’t any non-peaceful protests to participate in would you start one? How? Is it possible that it’s not that simple?

Common trend with online activists is that they clearly don't want to risk jail themselves, but they like to actively encourage others to get violent.

real change is difficult.

look how many people in the US just post on facebook and think they have done enough.

Sorry, I absolutely abhor violence as a means to an end (and in all cases really).

Note the parent said non-peaceful. They did not say violent.

You can have non-violent, non-peaceful protest. (E.g., making a ton of noise at specific places to disrupt their ability to work there isn't peaceful, see also blockading businesses and roads.)

A lot of civil disobedience fits in non-peaceful (not calm, not orderly) and non violent.

How do you think the USA was made?

Rejecting violence is un-american lol.

Violence sometimes absolutely is the right response. Let me quote some George Orwell:

"Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other. "

So we should all go out and get arrested and put and jail to solve nothing. Sounds like a plan...
