A quotation from Hannah Arendt
Popular revolt against materially strong rulers, on the other hand, may engender an almost irresistible power even if it foregoes the use of violence in the face of materially vastly superior forces. To call this “passive resistance” is certainly an ironic idea; it is one of the most active and efficient ways of action ever devised, because it cannot be countered by fighting, where there may be defeat or victory, but only by mass slaughter in which even the victor is defeated, cheated of his prize, since nobody can rule over dead men.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
The Human Condition, Part 5, ch. 28 “Power and the Space of Appearance” (1958)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/81966/

Violence gives Trump exactly what he wants: pretext. A blank check for repression, surveillance and total control. It does not threaten his power. It authorizes it. Do not take the bait! #StateViolence #ManufacturedConsent #AuthoritarianPlaybook #ReichstagFire #PassiveResistance

Resist fascism by popular will.

Oddly, nothing about this in the newspapers (that I've found on a desultory Sunday morning trawl) - virtually every delivery cyclist in Dublin walked silently through the streets to Parnell Street yesterday, then convened on a block in Dominick Street where a stolen bike was showing up on its tracker. They got the bike back; no violence, no noise

♲ @[email protected]:WARNING: Trump is inciting your protests as a pretext to nationalizing the State Guard units & attack cities. TRUMP WANTS YOU TO BE VIOLENT. He NEEDS the video of violent responses. Use #PassiveResistance of Dr King & Gandhi. Sit down. Lock arms. Don’t move. Don’t fight.

Our biggest weapon is our nonviolence, their tactics to provoke us is their fear.
We will fight their violence with peace, Our weaponless hands will be their nightmare.
One day, the lies they cast to divide us will wear off, and we will find each other.
They are the fascists, and we are the people who care about the other.
