I wouldn't feel bad about moving abroad, I'm already eyeing up Canada pretty seriously, but I also wouldn't feel too bad about joining up with a rebellion, even a violent one.

I think that non-violence is a great ideal, but that until the military budgets of nations get down below education budgets, non-violent resistance is doomed to be looked at as simple activism.

There is also the problem that if a country were to adopt a single party rule, there would be a large contingent of people who agreed with what the ruling bodies were doing, and would hamper any resistance.

It seems to me that the best form of non-violent resistance that a person can take is to simply move away.
