If history and religion are any evidence of this, telling people to not be aggressive and violent will literally get you nowhere. Either ignoring these people or making your own communities where such actions are not allowed is probably the only viable options.

They were thinking of ways to erode the peoples' support of the current regime, using non-violent means. That's very different from simply telling people "don't be aggressive or violent."
