Yellow Vest Anniversary: Has anything changed?

I always believed peaceful protests are much more effective than violent ones, although I can understand when someone is provoked they want to hit back, but the trick to it is to restrain yourself for the right moment to hit back, you shouldnt just take hits after hits forever, you are allowed to hit back but again the secret to a successful protest is to take a couple of hits to show the ruthlessness of your opponent, this is NOT a boxing match where the point of it is to knock your adversary down as soon as you can, this is about winning the hearts and minds of those who still are hazetateiing to join in the protests, and in a very successful protest, both young and old must be there on the streets, and you cannot do that if you take to violence immediately or very quickly, in my view every protester must be a role model to another fellow protesters next to him or her, I am delightful that many protesters around the world have started to realize this, it started very good in Paris then in Hong Kong in Iraq and Lebanon, but especially in Iraq, they are doing a marvelous job despite they are being murdered in the hundreds, they are fighting for their lives in Iraq, poor people :( they have no other choice but to continue all the way, but for others I strongly urge them to cool down a bit and start all over again with a clean sheet, like in the beginning when they had hundred of thousands and millions on the streets, both young and old, I suggest they set up a date to to have time to set up a date where they can get the message out in time and to ensure there will be violence so people can bring out their whole families again, and they should be more forceful and occupy government buildings, their presence must be felt and felt good, thats the point, loo, if a government with all its politicians from cross the idile can in a couple of days decide to vote for go to war, I am sure they can decide to make peace with its citizens and do what they were elected to do, so set up a date lets say a week from now and get everyone out again and dont go home till all your demands are met, and them some ;) good luck and make sure your stories doesnt end here, good luck :)
