  • Gandhi’s methods only worked because the British Empire was already spread thin, barely maintaining control over India. Gandhi was simply the final drop that spilled the glass.

    Peaceful protests only work when those in power, and those protesting know that if the peaceful approach fails, a violent one will follow.

    Sadly, the only way to persuade those in power to do what you want is to either win them over with material value, or threaten them and their families with violence, regardless of government type.

    For your edification and posterity. This. What you just wrote. I totally agree. Like a chef serving a bowl of stew, you stuck your ladel into my brain and from my incoherent abstract thoughts were able to form the exact sentiment of what it is I was feeling. Down to a decimal of a decimal, more perfectly than I ever could have iterated, you captured the essence of every nuance I experienced relating to the subject matter. No words could portray the awe I felt knowing that somebody shared the exact same thought process as me. Not only that, but with the ability to articulate in such a refined manner the depth of said thought process. No words could describe that feeling. Except one. This.
