Yes, but polarization is a possibility. You can't know you're the majority, so until violence is used against you, you don't necessarily have a reason to turn the thing into a civil war.

Something like 1.6 million people across Serbia were protesting across the country, last I heard. They're the majority.

That seems reasonable, but my comment was intended as a continuation of my general 'if an organization attacks you...'.

You're using whataboutism to conflate the Serbian government with an imaginary counter faction. Civil war requires 2+ factions that cannot or will not express their grievances through political means. This simply isn't the case.

No, I'm actually not really talking about Serbia at all, but about the general situation, i.e. about violence and how one should react to it.

Basically, I'm saying that if one is attacked, the one can do as one likes, but if one is not attacked, then one can leave things to democracy; and it is difficult to know whether ones position, in the absence of an election, has popular support.
