Backlashes are not a hypothesis. The idea(s) that all movements can or should avoid militancy or that there is some easy guide to when mililtancy is and is not appropriate are extremely weak and questionable hypotheses.
- Kalium 11y agoThe point is that militancy is not all beer and skittles. It's not the magical cure-all that makes everything better that so many radicals view it as. I wish I was exaggerating, but I actually do know a number of radicals who really do believe that militancy makes everything better. Often there's some rationale about how their chosen form of violence is actually non-violence. Militancy has drawbacks. Those drawbacks can in fact be measurable counterproductive. That's the hypothesis at hand.
