The most effective social movement may no longer be a mass demonstration on the streets but a silent mass defiance of the system.

For example when everybody starts refusing to pay their taxes and not afraid of being thrown to jail what can the government do? jailing everyone? When people violate certain law that they disagree with in public and repeat it again and again despite whatever penalties the govt is on the weak side. The point of having law is to have a deterrence effect supposedly for the common good of society but we all know that in many countries the law has been abused to protect dictatorial regime.

Social defiance. If the disagreed law bans public gathering then do exactly that, if the disagreed law bans libel make fun of the law to humiliate the law despite whatever penalty. Don't pay the fine. Do the jail time. Repeat it all the time.

Of course the question is not whether it is possible but whether the cause is worth your time and sacrifice.
