You can reclaim slurs. Of course, ability to read the room is very useful, because in some settings using slurs, even if you're referring to yourself, isn't considered acceptable, like you don't swear if you're talking to kids or having dinner with your granparents.

And now in June, we celebrate the queer community's liberation, which totally happened by walking up to a politician and asking "hey can we please not get assaulted and thrown into prison or a mental ward for existing? π₯Ί", to which the politician responded "oh, I've spent my entire life thinking you guys were perverted mentally ill sinners that should be drawn and quartered, but sure! βΊοΈ"
Oh, but it's use of force and not violence when we do it!
Also I'd say that peaceful and violent aren't binary. Like, there's standing somewhere holding signs without being distruptive, then there's civil disobedience like blocking traffic without being actually violent, then there's protests where protestors will use violence to defend themselves if they have to without actively seeking to engage in violent acts, and then there's straight up rioting, where people go out their way to attack people, or smash windows or burn cars and shit.
And, of course, it varies from person to person. If there's protest X happening, one person could think of is as violent (or call it violent as a way of propaganda) while one person wouldn't.
my fucking ass π π₯Ύ
Bolsheviks, Stonewall riots, suffragettes, all famously peaceful movements that got their rights by staying on their knees and asking nicely.
