proof by counterexample: the "May 13" riots in 1969 Malaysia lead to the Chinese community accepting Malay affirmative action and the third rail status of Article 153 of the Constitution establishing the 'special position' of the Malays, rather than continuing to oppose it in the wake of Singapore's departure destabilizing the ethnic balance. Violent protests worked arguably because Indonesia next door was being even more violent, purging perhaps several hundred thousand people in the transition from Sukarno to Suharto and entrenching explicitly anti-Chinese laws.
The leading ultranationalist who argued that the government's response had been too pro-Chinese was Mahathir Muhammad, who later went on to become Prime Minister for a staggering twenty-two years. This said, he proved to be an extremely pragmatic strongman and discarded his ultra positioning almost immediately. This pragmatism would mark his foreign policy, too - he become one of the noisier post-Cold-War anti-US world leaders, whilst at the same time retaining the US as the country's largest trade partners and participating enthusiastically in joint exercises and weapons programs.

I strongly suspect that the correct answer is a nuanced "some degree of violence or the threat thereof is required for most change" which is not satisfying or desirable on a normative level.

Obviously people want to live here. I'm more baffled by the price jump. It used to be two middle class income could afford something around here, i.e. the last 100+ years up till about 2002.

ooh a mashup
I have not had the latter but I am willing to vote it Best Ice Cream based on things I've enjoyed in the past
That is why you get multiple scoops.
I had balsamic+basil+thyme at bi-rite in SF. It was amazing.
Let it go
I knew you were trouble
Shake it off

I'll get live with you but not until ~8p pacific
I have a stupid group meeting for class

Sorry elendil, I know how that sounds coming out of my face and travelling through a mic
No one ever has performed creep live well, I'm convinced of it
as a man i don't have no boobies
i have a nutbag
and a peepee
and i look at them every day
I know some dudes with boobies.
this checks out
yeah, drats
o well
i got a bunch fo hours of sleep yesterday
gonna get wild
You can just get so angry in the chorus
i tackled this song, which is already a bad pitch for me, after three whiskeys
it went really badly
i crushed Backstreet's Back though
Best choice is Bohemian Rhapsody. Sing the whole thing. Every word. In a falsetto. That is always a crowd pleaser in my experience.
Surely I'm ready is the best choice.
this is the poor decision making I can get behind
Don't stop I'm close!
COMING TO NYC
DATE TBD

You went to Brooklyn just for pizza? And then got that? That is. . . the most impressive trolling of chat I have ever seen.
Not, like man boobs. But like rude ass titties.
Also, for drunken screaming off key, no song is better than Crawling.
And while you can't really sing it at karaoke If I Had a Heart by Fever Ray is super good.
Also karaoke means 'empty orchestra', like karate means 'empty fist'
And Rock Me Amadeus is the best song ever written, you should do that.

You can have a partner to sing the lady's part, but it's preferred that you just sing it all yourself.
