Direct action is one kind of non-violent resistance. But there are others. Resistance is about making abusive authority have to pay a price for every thing they do. It's about throwing sand in its gears, making everything be a bit more shitty, and a bit more difficult. Direct-action is obviously a tactic, but so is things like causing delays, raising financial costs, denying organizing space, deplatforming, etc etc etc. Weaponize pettiness :)
