Civil-Disobedience is what cowards DO...

If you want a revolution, you can't start with Molotov cocktails. Civil disobedience builds widespread support, which we need. It puts on a show of ordinary, dignified, peaceful people putting themselves in the way of a violent, unreasonable State. Onlookers view it from the outside, seeing civilized folks like themselves treated roughly.

At the early stages, attacks by revolutionaries with guns make the not-fully-committed alarmed. They don't yet understand the violent folks' aims. They don't yet trust them, because in all fairness, who knows where folks with guns will go next, if you don't know them in their more . . . linear moments?

Human nature is the reason changes only happen in stages.

Actually that is “HOW” it starts..
Depends on whether you get caught throwing it..
Or even if......... it is “thrown”...

Street rabble throw things.. the more techy ones know more inventive ways..
Where there is a “WILL” there is a way..
