		Yes. However people are unwilling to take this approach unless things get really really bad. Even then, the powerful tend to have such strong control that people are afraid to act out of fear of reprisal. We’ve also been gaslit into believing that it’s not a good approach, that peaceful protests are more civilised (even though they rarely cause anything meaningful to actually change).
