Historical statistical analysis has shown that it only takes 3.5% of the population engaging in non-violent protest to ensure serious political change. Google ‘April 5th protest’ and join up.
I guess this is true only if the government is also being pressured by outside forces. For example, if that 3.5% are Nicaraguan Contras backed by the USA, then it’s completely possible. Otherwise, I really don’t see how peaceful protests of 3.5% are supposed to do anything.
You can even make do with 0.35% if you have enough CIA funded NGOs.
It’s also really funny how easy most of these astroturfed protests are to spot, just look for the crowd with “inexplicably” uniform and professional looking signs that are for some reason mostly written in English in an overwhelmingly non-English speaking country.
Bonus points if you can spot US or EU government officials handing out cookies.
Lmao
Meanwhile 10% of the population protests in Greece, the government shuffles the ministers around and calls it a day 🤡

If the new york times “journalist” is there, you bet is an astroturfed protest.
Yes, western media presence is another great indicator. Be especially wary if you see the BBC.
BBC + NYT + REUTERS and you’re cooked.
