uh yeah, but I'm pretty sure, at least as far as I've seen, nonviolent resistance isn't modeled in this game. Gandhi never rose up and led an army

in this game pacifist means reluctance to viloance not no viloance at all so its allowed

Gandhi rose up und led an army. It just wasn't an... armed army...
Hm, technically you don't get to see how rebels come to power, right? But at least afterwards rebels do tend to have weapons. In the Blorg stream some even had battleships, I seem to remember. No idea about their ethos, though. In game terms "pacifist" seems to mean "not likely to start a war of aggression"...

I imagine there would have to be a greater focus on strikes, sabotage, and other non-violent forms of resistance. Democratic participation if possible, while those in non-democratic empires may go so far as to seek liberation with the help of nearby Democratic Crusaders -- a tad hypocritical, but not unimaginable.
Pacifist pops can be expected to be rebelling against militarist empires, so open armed resistance can be assumed to be an unwise tactic.

Everyone at home will laugh at you for making a big deal about their salt obsession?

Historically, peaceful protesters have succeeded by getting the attention of people with power - other countries, voters, or factions who can exploit them to gain members. Peaceful protesters are represented in the support the various internal factions have.

Historical reference. Ghandi used a salt tax to rile up a march to the sea, which would make the British leadership look bad if they intervened, so they didn't, yet it gained a lot of traction. Mastery of passive aggressive pacifist resistance.

Simply yes - as there has been in all of paradox's games.

I never got into Vicky 2, it was too much of a disappointment compared to vicky Rev. I'm genuinely scared thinking about a vicky 3... they're more likely to ruin the combat further by making it EUIV levels of simplistic, rather than making it good again. :'(

I think I saw Jain religious rebels at some point in CK2. And that one makes even less sense.

Isn't armed uprising the last resort of any faction?
Maybe it just takes longer for pacifists to hit it than militarists?
