A lot of research looks at this question, with the pioneering book Why Civil Resistance Works leading the way. WCRW is of unparalleled depth and comparative scope, and has been the chief reference for over a decade. 1/4
Some argue that WCRW's statistical findings suffer from incomplete data, but none checked whether this concern would actually infringe on the results. I discuss and simulate the role of missingness in WCRW, and find a substantial lack of robustness. 2/4
My findings highlight the importance of recent research to further disaggregate core concepts, collect new data, and to provide nuance to the discussion on civil resistance effectiveness. See eg @vdeminstitute's new measure for capturing historical mass mobilization. 3/4

1. @jrockstrom is "tired" because he is unaware or more likely does not want to accept the psychology of denial literature.
2. 1.5C is not a technical term but a construction of deep psychological meaning - a religious artifact (see my article on this ).
3. Everyone knows we are going over the limit, probably in 2024 (James Hanson and co), but this cannot be accepted because the lie of staying under 1.5C is necessary to maintain the immense ideological ego of the global liberal class - ie, the myth of continued material progress.
1. 1.5C is not a point of data but a religious artifact. It is imbued with the sacred taboo of the global liberal class: the all pervasive dogma of progress, the unspeakable terror of regression and fall (a proxy for death). It can never be allowed to be passed.
2. But it will. And when it does a whole world of meaning will collapse and the psychological and spiritual suffering of this class will become unbearable for them. History will have returned.

2. With all due respect to Liberty, the self understanding of myself and many people in @JustStop_Oil, is that a post-modernist construction of "protest", facilitated by Liberty and the liberal space, supports the legitimacy of repression.
3. We hold a modernist orientation - namely there is, objectively, protest in the private interest and protest in the public interest - and these are fundamentally different legal and moral categories.
