There is a way for pacifism, but you don't do it by asking nicely. You say, "give us rights, and we're blocking central square completely. Do it before the local economy feels the hit!"

But it is important you're ready to face violence yourself. Because the town might decide to send the police on your protest. In this game, you have to bank on the nation having a conscience, especially the government. Considering the government is as evil as they are stupid... probably not a good bet.

Rights are rarely freely given. They must be fought for.

Sure lets put people who are trigger happy and prone to violence as our leaders im sure histoty shows that has always worked

Now seriously, if you must join a violence recistance be careful who you put at the front, times like those are perfect ground for evil and greedy people to take advantage of the anger and disconfor, the Revolution will eats its children if not careful

And if the people currently in charge are already trigger happy and prone to violence, just let them stay in power forever and ever of course! Just ignore it, those types of leaders are famously receptive to peaceful protest and quiet resistance
