I am refering to the old school non-violence by the way, not the modern non-resistance crap. What are your toughts?
Counterinsurgency: Start a definitional debate about violence to disperse your enemy.
Seen this first hand what damage this can have, but I get why it is a thing (you don't want politics turn into gang violence).
Hot take: Shouting no violence, while standing next to a brick-holding comrade is tactically compatible.
