Nonviolent resistance

and the culminating of these 11 hallmarks.

We start with assaulting truth, we work through all the other ones, and I ended specifically on this because it actually sets me up for the next chapter, which isn't a hallmark of authoritarianism, but I write an entire big fat chapter on nonviolent resistance.

And

then after that, I end with hope.

local.

And so you end

with nonviolent resistance, which, again, correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding was a key issue when the wall came down in Germany was you had a group of people who kept meeting at a church, and then one day they go en masse, and they just passively go to the area where they're not supposed to go because of the guards and that type of thing.

And what is it that gives people that kind of strength, I think, to do that? And it really is your final chapter there, hope.

what a non-college educated or school educated child has been up to in terms of qualifications when they're not the norm and not the standard.

So I have been very much using the kind of connected parenting in VR approach to work with them to help them understand what's going on to build those relationships.

And it's lovely seeing my son just love being at college at the moment.

Anyway, hopefully that will carry on.

And as I say, these conversations with parents, particularly over the summer, I've got a few parents who are in that space and I get it because I've been there.

So I'm hoping that we can also pick some of that up through the podcast over the next few months.

and help you think about the Connected Parenting NVR approach in a broader way than just related to your children that helps you not only help your children, but also move other areas of your life forward that might be feeling really tricky at the moment.

So that as an individual and as a parent, as a friend, as a brother, as a sister, as a partner, as a whatever, we can help you move from kind of surviving to thriving and through that help your children as well.

No more Mr.

Passive Resistance.

He's out to kick some butt.

This is one bad mother you don't want to mess with.

Last episode, I mentioned engaging supporters.

It's a formal tool from nonviolent resistance to engage your community for support.

But it's not just support for parents.

It's support for the child, too.

And maybe you could potentially count about six peasant revolts in the period from 500 to 1000, but you could probably whittle that down to four.

And even then, the closer you look, the, the more often these events appear to be peasants acting in ways that lords don't like, and then our sources on the side of lords describing what we might think of as passive resistance in terms of violence.

So it is an incredibly rare phenomenon, the, the, the pitchforks and brands resistance, and it's maybe the most distinctive feature of, of the crowd regime of the early Middle Ages.

Instead, what peasants tend to do is they tend to use collective behavior in other ways as a source of resistance.

Yes, and there are so many important parts of this argument that you're making that I really want to get to, one of them being that at this moment, because it's sort of a chicken and egg thing is the, the impression that I got from this, where the Romans are like, "Well, the crowds are just gonna get unruly, and sometimes they're gonna get upset, and we just are used to that, and so we just kind of roll with it." Whereas in this period, there is a huge, like, crackdown that you notice.

Like, if people start to rise up, they get just absolutely smashed.

And so you're saying that passive resistance is much more effective.

It's a lot safer as well.

People will see it on social media.

People will start to protest, a peaceful protest.

I submit.

Thank you very much.

Then, obviously, once they get that permit, they will tell me that I have to write my numbers.

But then I had to go to such and such a tent to protest.

peaceful protests, Amazonian state protests.

Thank you, thank you.

So efya kufya okuima no ukwaba ti baye, bayevashi nefyo byonga chikako.

Peaceful protest, protest ayi lefwa iwam.

Bashifye protest, ee, you know, in a peaceful manner.

Not ukweba ti baye milefyo ngo.

Uh, Mr. Mwamba, uh, I think my, my, my suggestion to all of us Zambian is that, uh, [speaking native language] but the way he's trying to get powers to remain as a president, that's what's, what is hurting the people of Zambia.

[speaking native language] All over.

Just to, to, to make a day [speaking native language] a peaceful protest [speaking native language] So that at least we show the president that people, they are not happy about the, whatever transpired on the election.

I think that is my submission.

I don't know.

But so, everything that happened to Jesus is the warning, of course, that we are using of all the people who got themselves killed, for nonviolent resistance, but died for it.

So that's the heart, that historical experience is the heart in which Michael, because the book was, I wrote three chapters, Galilee, Jerusalem, resurrection, keep it simple.

Michael took those and enveloped them, did it marvelously, because it's very hard to tell what I'm writing and he's writing.

books in the next year and put out again.

I don't know if they have to redo it or can use our files.

And then we're doing a second, like a parallel volume called Jesus and Nonviolent Resistance.

And that's a terribly important title because Jesus was not simply nonviolent.
