i suppose they’re engaging in radical non-violence.
Well... some fifty years ago there were radical Buddhists in South Vietnam who self-immolated to protest government policies. Their actions brought down one Saigon junta after another.
I like the Burmese version better where radical Buddhists go after their muzzie enemies and kill them. The Dalai Lama himself said that if someone is trying to kill you and you have a weapon, the moral thing to do is to defend yourself.
