Protests Don't Need To Be Civil - EARLY ACCESS, AD-FREE, AND UNCENSORED
Added 2023-05-31 18:05:06 +0000 UTCHi everyone. This is next week's episode, but we're giving it to you today!
We're looking at the constant calls for "civility" during any protest movement and examine why those in power always criticize protesters for not doing it "the right way."

Perhaps this is addressed in the study, but I detect a causality issue with the "peaceful protests are more effective than violent protests". From my own admittedly non-scientific observation, almost all protests are peaceful up to the point that the police attack them - that's how almost every protest that "turned violent" did that. So what the formula might reflect is that the protests that don't get attacked by the police, for whatever reason, also tend to get what they want; or to put it another way, the protests that call for things that don't evoke a violent reaction by the powerful are also more likely to get those things. But again, I haven't looked at the study itself; maybe it controls for this?
