    Thanks for proving my point I guess…?

    the movement expanded against what many perceive as an authoritarian government when hundreds of protestors and civilians, most of whom were students, were killed.[f] The majority of the fatalities were caused by gunshots fired by the police and other government forces, using lethal and deadly weapons,[89] against unarmed protestors and non-protesting civilians, including children and pedestrians

    Meaning it’s literal suicide.

    Edit because you’re sure to bring this up: sure you might bring about change, but each individual in that protest holding a proverbial pitchfork is just yet another practice target for the cops.

      They took down the government… Their revolution succeeded.

      I didn’t realize your point was even stupider than I imagined. Thanks for your great contribution Socrates.

        You sound like you just have a martyr fantasy. That or you actively want your fellow protesters dead.

          history is full of examples where people just sat around waiting and change happened
