Disagree strongly, peaceful protest has an important place in civil discourse. Going from zero to revolution is not only ineffective and ill advised, its plays directly into the states hand as it erodes the perceived morality of dissent. Overreaction absolutely can be as bad as underreaction.
Frosted flakes are part of a healthy breakfast... if the rest of the breakfast has protein, vegetables and a bit of insulin
Peaceful protest are indeed important but only ifethey cause or inspire actual disruptions; otherwise it's just group chanting
This is a false dichotomy. People advocating for more than compliant and useless protest aren't saying we need to burn down the country and start a revolution. We can have direct action. And stronger resistance without it being a revolution.
There is nothing protesters could do that would be an overreaction to Trump and his administration kidnapping people off the street. We exited the boundaries of civil discourse when they threw out the rulebook.
