(13,597 posts)1. "Nonviolent resistance" is a better characterization.
Nobody was passive in the usual sense of the word. And even nonviolent resistance was just one of many strands of action. There was not a homogeneous strain of passivity of that time. Mucho oversimplification. And a bit of condescension.
