Any interesting non violent protest ideas? (lemmy.wtf)

Wondering what some ideas in the theme of malicious compliance, chaotic good or even legal non-compliance for protesting?

Stuff like chaining yourselves to a tree or purposeful graffiti has been there in the past but I'm curious about yer experiences/stories.

I recall there were some issues with household waste collections and the folks, unfortunately, would stuff their rubbish into public bins. Was wondering why everyone couldn't just dump their bags outside a politicians house who could have power to affect change.

There were some inspiring ones here: https://nonviolencenews.org/2025/01/03/top-10-creative-actions-in-2024-nonviolence-news-special-report/

Stuff like that.. any ideas?

This should be a way of life. I hate when we have to shop at big chain stores, but we can't always afford to pay more for the same thing to buy it locally. When I used to eat out more, I'd almost never go to chains if I could help it, favouring local chains.

That’s a good point too, local restaurants or if you have to buy from big stores cooking at home. There’s a lot of ways to resist 💪
