Any chance of convincing #OKOpress to interview #MariaStephan [1] or #EricaChenoweth [4] for a research-based comment about #StrategicNonviolence and #MassShooting risks of #Poland MinEducation regulations for obligatory gun shooting classes in primary school in academic year 2022/2023 [3]? Stephan *is* aware of the RU invasion context [4].

Imagine you claim that "nonviolence" is superior over "diversity of tactics" on the basis that war or terrorism doesn't work well for ones cause.

This is exactly what #ExtinctionRebellion is doing. No joke. And yes, they've been informed about such, multible time.

The screenshots are from the study "Why civil resistance works", done by #EricaChenoweth and #MariaStephan to which everyone in #XR reffers to as "the truth". It gives an example on how manipulative and nonsense it is.

(*And imagine that on that basis, you have internal debates if everyone should be encouraged to publicly distance themself from groups that use diversity of tactics. Also this is happening.)

@XRBerlin ....so, another propaganda piece that ignores the existance of diversity of tactics and kind of claims on that basis the superior of the own method.

Remember that the study that video is reffering to was comparing war with so claimed non-violent campaigns.

"The data on violent cam-
paigns are derived primarily from Kristian Gleditsch’s 2004 updates to the
Correlates of War database on intrastate wars (#COW),..."

"The COW data set requires 1,000 battle deaths..."

study done by #EricaChenoweth and #MariaStephan

The study that everyone from #ExtinctionRebellion ist using to argue that #pacifism is the best of all strategies is a lie!!!

and this lie supports as a consequence opression.

It's not the fault of those that believe in it, as not everyone has the access to the required information, yet here are the informations:
