A more thorough explanation:

VIS INERMIS

Vis inermis is a Latin term that means "unarmed force". It is the power or strength that is not backed by weapons or physical force. It is the ability to influence or persuade others without using any kind of violence or aggression.

Vis inermis is often used in legal and political contexts to describe peaceful protests, nonviolent resistance, and civil disobedience. It is a way of expressing dissent and bringing about change without resorting to violence.

  • Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent resistance movement against British rule in India is a classic example of vis inermis.
  • The Civil Rights Movement in the United States, led by Martin Luther King Jr., also used vis inermis to fight against racial discrimination and segregation.
  • Protests against government policies, such as the Women's March and March for Our Lives, are also examples of vis inermis.

These examples illustrate how vis inermis can be a powerful tool for social and political change. By using peaceful means to express their grievances and demand justice, people can create a more just and equitable society.
