[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 162459, member: 426"] [b]Passive Resistance[/b] A reporter asks Hazen a question. "If a citizen of the Humanoid State opposes the coup, but does not wish to fight, how can he oppose the generals?" Hazen tries to use his full abilities to explain himself. (OOC: Not magically, of course. But Hazen is a skilled diplomat.) "There is an honored tactic which people who oppose an injustice can take that is not violent. Passive resistance. They can refuse to cooperate with the authorities on any action they view as illegal. They may decide to do such things as sit in front of a building, pray, march and not resist arrest. No government can imprison its entire population." "Nonviolent tactics have been used to great success in opposing unjust governments and unjust laws. The actions of the protesters draw light to the problem. Indeed, such nonviolent protests have freed nations and ensured the equal treatment of minority groups." "Passive resistance can be a tool in opposing tyranny. It can also weaken the Mists." "If people believe their government is unjust, or those who have taken control of their government are unjust, they have a right to protest. Nonviolence can make a difference in resolving the current situation and defeating the mists. The greatest warrior does not need to kill. There are many ways to oppose evil." "Perhaps passive resistance against unjust governments - strikes, sitdown protests, and a refusal to obey orders from the coup plotters can make a difference. I know of a nation where people rallied behind a leader to oppose those who would strip them of their newly found democracy in a collapsing empire. They suceeded. In time, they gained greater freedom by opposing the coup peacefully. They made peace with the newly founded independent states of the empire and reemerged as a greater power in freedom than they had under a tyrannical empire." "Perhaps peaceful protests will undermine the coup plotters and weaken the Mists. How can a small band of plotters hope to withstand the will of an entire people? How can a few petty tyrants stand against a just majority? They cannot stand for long if the people rise up against them!" "I believe in the essential goodness and decency of the individual. We can all make our own destiny. Now is a moment of destiny for us all. We must fight evil when it confronts us, but there are many ways to oppose evil." "Again, the people of Toril must chose the fate of their world. Personally, I would hate to see the democratic values that so many fought and died for to be overthrown by a few greedy people seeking absolute power." [/QUOTE]
