now that I've had my fun maybe you'd be interested in this very recent example

Thanks for proving my point I guess..?

the movement expanded against what many perceive as an authoritarian government when hundreds of protestors and civilians, most of whom were students, were killed.[f] The majority of the fatalities were caused by gunshots fired by the police and other government forces, using lethal and deadly weapons,[89] against unarmed protestors and non-protesting civilians, including children and pedestrians

Meaning it's literal suicide.

Edit because you're sure to bring this up: sure you might bring about change, but each individual in that protest holding a proverbial pitchfork is just yet another practice target for the cops.

They took down the government.... Their revolution succeeded.

I didn't realize your point was even stupider than I imagined. Thanks for your great contribution Socrates.

You sound like you just have a martyr fantasy. That or you actively want your fellow protesters dead.

history is full of examples where people just sat around waiting and change happened
