"Peaceful protest"
Political authority is force. Force is violence.
If you are unwilling to commit violence you are unwilling to weild political authority.
The worst thing you can possibly do is spread regime propoganda to your own side about staying peaceful.
You encourage violence from your own side then lie to your enemies that they were peaceful. That's what actual effective protest movements do.
See: MLK, BLM, Ghandi, Maidan, Arab Spring, Sons of Liberty, Irish "Civil Rights", etc.
No "Protest" ever won by actually being peaceful. They win by being deadly riots that every supporter lies to your face was peaceful except for their enemies being evil.
If you believe in "Peaceful Protest" you're a high trust rube and/or willing traitor, who will always be ruled by people more ruthless than you.
