    Let me know what all the peaceful protests on climate change did leading up to and since the Paris Agreement.

    Civil disobedience, including violent action, absolutely has a place in changing the policy of the state.

        List all the regimes that weren’t brought down by peaceful protests and singing kumbaya. No worries we will wait.

          Czechoslovakia’s Velvet Revolution was one instance, assuming you squint and ignore all the NATO soft power involved.

          The 2018 and 2024 Armenian Revolutions also technically qualify. Although, the fact that they had two in six years raises questions of their effectiveness.
