Interesting counter-narrative, thx. Very easy to believe shortly after Iran so brutally murdered 30,000 of their own ppl... Also interesting to see Gene Sharp in the mix. The name crops up pretty often in lefty activist circles like XR, Deep Green Resistance etc. They never seem to notice that all these tyrannical regimes that got overthrown by 'the people' just so happened to be sworn enemies of the west, thus the resistance could count on rather extensive external support. Who's going to be our external support in the fight against our own governments? That's why Roger Hallam's magic formula of 3% of the population in active resistance was never going to be enough. I wonder if Sharp was CIA?

cheers,
