Civic violence may get you the result you want (though that's pretty rare), but it's hardly ever worth it.

It's a very subjective appraisal, is all. Whether or not it's "worth it". We can say, from the pov of our shared opinion, that it probably isn't..but that's hardly an objective metric for the person making the decision. Violence can be (and often has been) the answer. That's what we have to contend with in making some uniform case against violence. We imagine the losers in these comparisons..but that ignores the fact that there are also winners.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
