      Was that ever in doubt?

      And this is why non-violent resistance is more effective than violent resistance. Non-violent resistance can be expensive to those in power. Since they only care about money, they will go whichever way costs them the least.

      Violent resistance on the other hand doesn’t cost the powers that be very much. In fact, given there’s a privatized prison industry and a massive defense industrial complex, a violent resistance movement is very profitable to a lot of people in power. Why else would they be trying to push a civil war so hard?
