Maybe another useful angle is separating "protest" from "insurrection," which at least makes protest evaluation relatively straightforward (private vs public space, former to be deprecated) but leaves one with the problem of evaluating insurrection validity

Insurrections seem less a matter of principle and more a matter of politics. Do I support the aims of the insurrection? Is it likely to succeed in its aims? Are the costs of the insurrection worth the benefits, in expectation? These may and must be evaluated casewise (good).

What are the weak points of this taxonomy? I think I like it and it solves a lot of motte/bailey issues in rhetoric that maybe have been dominating lately, and while there are some issues around bright dividing lines I think in practice they're relatively minor.

Kind of like the personal angle of protesting political figures. It makes the abstraction of evil that politics is usually guilty of, all the more real for the people ostensibly responsible for said political evil. Can be misguided but I like it as a tool against state overreach.
