I know what you’re talking about, but there are tons of problems with that study, mainly ignoring the radical flank effect and failing to account for the fact that a weaker regime will be less able to enforce its will using violence.
Which of these 23 links backs up the claim that “people only respond to violence,” or, paraphrasing, non-violent resistance is ineffective.
I tried to skim a couple, but the synopsis on one was simply a recounting of black power tactics from the 70s, and another was a wiki page about the radical flank effect, which actually referenced the book I linked to support the claim that having a violent radical flank appeared to have no positive effect. Other references sometimes found a positive effect, but I can’t really compare the merits of the sources.
Honestly, having a pile of obscure links to whip out in favor of political violence is, let’s call it, odd.
Studies show non-violent protests have been the most effective.
But violent people do set the bar for their own treatment, sometimes.

Please cite said studies. Apologies, but I can’t read anything on the internet without assuming it’s complete bullshit without sources

This is the work that’s often being referenced when talking about non-violent vs violent resistance, and the 3.5% participation claim.
I don’t see any references for your claims either.

Maybe choose one or two source to back up your point. Nobody’s going to go through your wall of links.

All of them.
If you think Civil Rights was won with flowers and rainbows, it means your privilege is showing.
I don’t give two shits what a racist thinks is odd.
