    I directly answered you and provided sources and background.

    Maybe try reading on your own without a mentor for granting you reading comprehension

      No you didn’t. I asked for the methodology, you didn’t even remotely answer that.

      Maybe try not lying about things that are easy to check.

        What was the lie? You sound like a sealion, the reference provided was a solid one.
        If you want to question the Harvard Kennedy schools methodology then you can provide the evidence.

          I already told you what the lie was, lol. And no, I’m not going to provide the methodology for your article, you lazy bum.

      I think what they’re looking for in terms of methodology is what objective criteria they use to determine if a protest is violent or nonviolent, as well as what constitutes success or failure. These are not trivial questions, and there’s lots of debate surrounding virtually any given movement, so to make objective determinations about a large number of such movements raises the question of how they’re resolving all these questions and debates. Some might argue that such questions are inherently political and up to interpretation.

      As another user in this thread pointed out, it may be a case of confusing correlation with causation: if a movement is popular, it may be more likely to succeed and more likely to be considered nonviolent, as compared to a less popular movement employing the exact same tactics.
