What I mention is what happened in October of 2019 in Chile.
Yeah, I know that they need to attract attention to a protest to be listened. BUT by no means it justifies destroying and robbing small businesses, burning churches and destroy schools (while asking for better education)
They literally went and made a mess of things.
They could have just made a crowd, block the road, go to the government institutions but they choosed violence to other citizens.
After that they left things even worse than they were, that’s a sign of lack of common sense and responsibility.
Many people lost their jobs, schools ended with heavy damag, the Metro stations where I live ended up in a mess, and for some reason they burned churches. Yeah.
You fell for the psyops. Your neighbor country, Brazil, already tried the route you’re proposing – people got beat up by police, the same police that infiltrated the protests and (proven, in court) destroyed public infrastructure.
I’m reminded of a quote: “a riot is the language of the unheard.” When the opposition will vilify ANY attempt to stand together and demand change as a “riot” and respond with state violence, what reason do you have to protest peacefully? If they’re just going to gas protestors, use dogs and pepper spray and bullets (both rubber and regular) and armored vehicles, then why bother trying to act like “the bigger man”?
Then in that case the rational violence would have been totally against the government, instead they damaged things used by low/middle class citizens and not things that actually would piss off politicians, they also damaged small businesses (literally run by families)
If they are going to use violence against citizens then they have no justification.

3 years later and you are still talking about it, so my point stands, people in power need a reminder that people can also choose violence.
Send the dogs, use gas and violence, disperse the crowd, a lot of policemen infiltrate the protests to exacerbate the violence, people soon follow.
Your are sheltered btw, no right has been won by the people asking nicely to those in power.
