Silent protest
Silent protest is an organized effort where the participants stay quiet to demonstrate disapproval. It is used as a form of civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance.[1]
Examples
- On July 28, 1917, a Silent Parade took place in New York City to protest lynching.
- 1968 Olympics Black Power salute
- 1968 Summer Olympics – Czech gymnast Věra Čáslavská looked away when the Soviet anthem was playing[2]
- NOH8 Campaign
- 2011 Belarusian protests

gollark: Sure, but you are unlikely to bulk-manufacture them as it's very niche. Might as well just buy an FPGA and stick it in your keyboard.
gollark: The microcontrollers in keyboards doing USB are probably more powerful than "6502"s.
