> The Orange Alternative a Polish anti-communist underground movement, started in Wrocław [..] in the 1980s. Its main purpose was to offer a wider group of citizens an alternative way of opposition against the authoritarian regime by means of a peaceful protest that used absurd and nonsensical elements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Alternative

Fascinating. This is a great idea. Too much of modern counter-protests against politic ideologies is rooted in violence and property destruction these days. This is a far more effective approach.

Two recent studies back this up:
