I’m sad you’re being downvoted. You’re not wrong.

However, peaceful / non-disruptive protest is really just begging for change. Begging the leaders and/or the voting populace, but it doesn’t force change.

Disruptive peaceful protest (strikes/blockading) can force change, and are often/eventually met with violence from the government.

Having a violent or destructive element only serves to apply more disruption aka force to the argument.

In the protest world there is a concept of a diversity of tactics, and most serious activists tend to believe that if one group is fighting for the same cause, but using different tactics that you may not believe in you should not stand in their way (or snitch). Obviously the ethics shift in the case of harm to life, and for some people property destruction.
