Here’s the thing about violence: the people who know it best are the last ones to jump into it. You know why? Because once you cross that line, there’s no going back. It’s not just about the punch you throw or the shot you fire—it’s the ripple effect. Every swing lands on more than just the person in front of you. It hits their family, their friends, and, yeah, it hits you too. It sticks with you. Violence solves one thing and breaks a thousand others.
But when it feels like there’s no other way, and the world is pushing you to the edge, you need to know this: there are 198 ways to fight before you ever make violence an option. That’s not weakness—that’s strategy. Because anyone can throw a punch, but not everyone has the guts to outsmart the system with their brain, their will, and their voice.
From seasoned war veterans to the average Joe who just doesn’t know what the hell to do next, this list is for you. It’s for people who get that the real battle is in the mind first. There are 198 ways to push back against tyranny, oppression, and the crap that’s tearing this world apart—without making new victims along the way.
We’re talking marches, boycotts, pranks, public actions that will make corrupt leaders squirm in their suits. These methods aren’t soft—they’re fierce. They don’t require you to roll over; they require you to stand up with a clear head and an iron will. Nonviolence isn’t passive, and it sure as hell isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for warriors who know the cost of war.
You’ve got 198 tools at your disposal, each one sharper than any weapon. So before you think there’s nothing left but fists and fire, dig into this list and see what real power looks like. Peace doesn’t mean surrender. It means you're playing the long game, where the fight’s not just for today, but for tomorrow and every day after.
The people who know how to fight are the ones who choose not to, until there’s no choice left. And brother, with 198 options on the table, you’ve got a hell of a lot of choices left.
A description and other historical examples of each can be found in volume two of The Politics of Nonviolent Action, by Gene Sharp. Republished from The Albert Einstein Institution
Look, these 198 methods aren’t the whole story. People have been coming up with ways to push back since the dawn of time, and they’re not done yet. There are plenty of other tactics that haven’t been named or categorized, and you can bet there will be new ones popping up as long as there’s something worth fighting for. Nonviolent protest, noncooperation, and intervention? Those are just the big categories. The specifics are endless, and they’re only limited by your creativity.
But here’s the thing—don’t just throw tactics at the wall and hope something sticks. The real power comes from using the right method at the right time. You’ve got to know what kind of pressure you’re applying and why. It’s not about random acts of defiance; it’s about strategy. Plan your moves, pick your methods carefully, and then hit them where it hurts.
