I'm not arguing for the continuation of the empire, but for the survival of the people suffering within it. Slavery was not ended through peaceful resistance

How so? The tree of liberty requires watering with the blood of tyrants or something like that, right?

I think it's important people are at least aware of the situation they are in. And I wouldn't dare suggest a head on fight.
Mandela won a Nobel peace prize, but the overthrowing of apartheid wasn't a peaceful process. Even he understood the need to meet authoritarians on terms they understand

What morality? These people have been whipped into a frenzy for decades being told they are fighting inhuman monsters. Are we watching different videos of masked goons gleefully slamming people to the ground and shooting journalists?
We can worry about their morality when they've been disarmed

Power corrupts, power is corruptible. What's needed is to remove the tyrants from power and break down the oppressive structures that exist. Doesn't matter if you resist violently or non-violently if the same power structures are still in place.

You mentioned South Africa earlier, and its supposed non-violent overthrow of the apartheid government (way more complex than that) and now we're one of the most complex countries with the highest wealth inequality in the world, so how does that help either?

I'm cherry picking a relevant extreme and applying it to the material conditions at hand. We're talking about the collapse of the most powerful empire known to man, not a small nation state

Fair enough, do you think those same methods will work against fascism? Because we know how the last batch of fascists had to be taken out of power, and it wasn't through non-violene

While I do acknowledge some of these are good examples, idk if we can say non-violent Danish resistance to the Nazis is what ended the war... What ended the war was people fighting Nazis. Nazis do not respect non-violence, it just makes us easier for them to exterminate.

Do we have prior evidence of non-violence being a viable strategy to oppose fascism and brutal authoritarianism?

I used to work for AWS and there was always a push to dogfood as much as possible, because if it's not good enough for us to use why would we let customers use it?
