The title āA case for nonviolent protestā, if I read it without prior knowledge, would make me think that you were arguing for nonviolent > violent protest, rather than nonviolent protest > not considering protest effective. But Iāve seen no serious support for violent protest within EA.
While thereās some debate on violence vs. nonviolence outside our community, it seems like this post is mostly about modeling the positive impact of nonviolent protest rather than directly comparing it to violent protest.
Perhaps a better title would be āA case for the efficacy of protestā, or āA case for public protestā?
Ah good pointāI didnāt really think about this. Youāre right in that this post is about nonviolent protest being effective rather than not being effective, with no discussion on how violent protest fits into this. Iāve changed the title to āA case for the effectiveness of protestā but not sure if itās too late but hopefully at least itās a bit clearer. Thank you for the heads up!
