How Can LBRY Help Liberate China?

DISCLAIMER: I wasn't that clear about violence in protest situations. Let me elaborate: I don't believe violence is ever effective or justified (barring immediate self-defense). That being said, I want people to understand that people can become violent as a result of their circumstances. I only point this out to make sure we don't automatically disregard positions just because some people claiming to represent them become violent. i.e. the violence, while wrong, does not make the position itself incorrect.
Think about it this way: the first wave of violence prompts the protests; the protesters may mistakenly believe violence in response is justified; then onlookers and/or the initial offenders may mistakenly disregard the position of the protesters due to some associated violence. The cycle can be broken at any stage if any party decides to lend credence to the other's position and simply communicate.
