I feel like I was just reading a debunking of that research. Which is not to say that non-violence isn't a valid moral position, or more desirable than the alternative, but I'm unconvinced that at this point, it's as strategically effective as Chenoweth et al claim. IIRC those studies were pretty heavily cherry-picked.
Of course, all I can find at a glance is this, which I haven't read. I think it might have been Conspirituality that was talking about the methodology?
What we're all missing the most is that mass uprisings typically aren't planned at all. Which makes my armchair quarterbacking entirely useless, other than to clap back at the other armchair quarterbacks.
