    If we’re learning from history we should remember that any strictly nonviolent movement will always get construed as violent anyways, and that shouldn’t stop you from using violence to protect yourself.

      Nonviolence will get you labeled violent and violence will get you killed. We need to be willing to use both where necessary though. And I should clarify that violence should always be defensive

        I completely agree- it’s important to defend yourself, and to be able to defend your actions in the long term.
