Read about Serbia. There are very effective peaceful protest going on for months.
Edit: Vučić‘s men are trying to use violence against the protesters, but the mostly just disperse immediately and meet up somewhere else to do more protesting. Protest have to be disruptive, but not violent.

Tell me when anything actually changes in Serbia

I'm not going to bother looking it up, so I'll ask you instead since you seem to care about it. What have they accomplished through those months of protesting?

Funny how Luigi and Crooks are the only ones who actually attempted meaningful change and both are conservative.
-
Luigi was conservative? I haven't really been following the news about him, but I didn't know that fact.

Yep you got it, everyone who can see reality is a Russian now. You got us skippy.

Yep, I have been accused of being a Russian so much on Lemmy. I could never figure out why.
Then I realized that it's just what a lot of Lemmy's parrot when they disagree with someone. But for a long time I was totally confused. lol

Exactly. Everyone also forgets what a civil war looks like these days. It wouldn't be North vs South, it would be in every direction, everywhere. Nobody wants this.
For comparison, here's Myanmar. This started back in 2021: https://myanmar.iiss.org/introduction

The eastern bloc was mostly dismantled by peaceful protests. So you don't really seem to know that much about peaceful protests, it can be very effective. Of applied correctly and consistently and not only once in a blue moon. Here are some things for reading for you
Are you saying the Eastern Bloc was more democratic and responsive to public pressure than the liberal democracies of the West?
You can interpret it how you want, that wasn't your statement I refuted. Matter of fact remains, that those were peaceful protests and they reached their goal.
In the sense that they gave up and became liberal democracies, yes.
