Gene Sharpe is widely regarded as an expert on nonviolent action. He was a valued advisor to Otpor!, the leaderless student group that used funny, entertaining actions to get rid of nasty Serbian dictator Svoboda Milosevic. Sharpe says that the forces of opposition must exert continuous pressure and employ a variety of tactics. Here is his list.


The list is too long for a DU post. Here are some I found interesting.

Sky-writing and earth-writing
(I have no idea what this is. Research.)

Mock awards
Flash mobs

189. Alternative communication system
(Discord servers, Signal, Telegram)

29. Displays of portraits
30. Paint as protest
34. Rude gestures

35. ”Haunting" officials
36. Taunting officials

59. Turning one's back

Declarations by organizations and institutions
(Where are the US organizations that can speak out about the fascist shit)
