It does seem like the number of non-violent options are dwindling. I really meant that I wish we'd had strong labor unions for the last several decades, as I don't think we would be in quite the same mess as we are.
If an action works, it will be defined as violence. There's a point to playing the theatrics of an action, and most things are not best accomplished by shootin' dudes en masse, but our opponents have taken nonviolence off the table, and pretending otherwise is masochist or suicidal.
