    I’d say it’s more that peaceful protest and violent protest are symbiotic. Peaceful movements attract broad support, and ensure you can not easily be dismissed as extremists and violently suppressed. Violent protest show that you can not be ignored without consequence.

    The idea that they are at odds is harmful.

      Huh, never thought of it that way, but that makes a lot of sense. Kind of a carrot and stick approach.
