The Possible Revival of Defenestration

In the Defenestration of Prague, Protestants settled a religious dispute by picking up three Catholic officials and throwing them out a third-story window. They survived the seventy-foot fall by landing in a pile of dung. (Catholic accounts at the time credited angelic intervention, and this may have been the first recorded instance of one side calling the other's claim bullshit.)

It leaves me wondering why we traded this for memes and marches.
