I would recommend reading about people that have gone through revolutions/war conflicts. Especially worker-led movements that have toppled Tsars, Kings, and Militaries. I'd also recommend this for non-violent weapons against dictatorships(https://www.aeinstein.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/FDTD.pd...)

The world is certainly dark but I find comfort in knowing that the majority of us simply want to live peaceful lives, and watch our families prosper.
