I dont like this way of thinking because its the wromg way around. The very popular study believes, that non violent movements needed around 3% active participation to reach their goal. These movements did not set out with this number in mind.
Starting a movement with this specific number in mind will result in shortcuts that the movements in the study did not take.
Its like saying “healthy” people eat lots of vitamins and instead of doing all the stuff these people do/eat, you just take multivitamins and hope to have the same result.
It can work, but its a very one sided approach that leaves out so many other important aspects.

I understand your perspective, but it just gave me encouragement to do more and wanted to share. That is all.
