In Nepal, on Sep 8, teenagers and GenZ organized peaceful protests. They were there on school uniform -- but 21+ were killed on a single day of peaceful protest. The next day, all 3 branches of the government were burned -- the legislative, the executive and the judiciary too. Even the Fox News equivalent (Kantipur) was burned.

I think people always opt for peaceful protest at first, but when that is made impossible, people go for the violent one. MLK was successful because there was the threat of Malcolm X. Same thing with Gandhi.
