I've been trying to post information about the work of the late Dr Gene Sharp on YouTube and every comment immediately and silently disappears.
He was a Harvard professor who spent his life studying nonviolent civil resistance. There is a documentary about him, How to Start a Revolution DVD. (It used to be available on YouTube but it was taken down. Now not even a reference to it is allowed.) He wrote several important books, beginning with From Dictatorship to Democracy. I can't mention any of this on social media.
Many people are now talking about taking our government back, or even calling for a revolution, but I can't give them any resources for looking into it.
He's a complex figure, to put it mildly, and his methods don't seem to work all that reliably against Western interests. They might not actually work on their own, except as a component of hybrid war.
Well that puts to bed any notion that this fellow was an agent of peace with justice. Justice is a word that he seemed to eschew. I previously linked his name with Gandhi and MLK, but unlike them, Sharp was almost totally disinterested in the net effect of the strategies he promoted. As this comprehensive biography makes clear, a straight line exists from his efforts to our present oligarchic reality.

That documentary is on a streaming service. I’m not sure if it’s Prime or Showtime or perhaps AMC, but that is how U accessed it.
Shhhhhhhh!!!! Don't give "them" any ideas.
