I believe it's possible, if we're willing to sacrifice the things we've tricked ourselves into believing. Expecting the worst is sometimes just a comforting lie, in its own warped way, and I'm thrilled to see people are not just finding a way to step around it, but creating small, functional societies within the protest itself.

What would qualify as world peace?

In the US, for instance, no state is at war with any other, nor has that happened for 150 years, yet I'm not sure the US is really peaceful internally.
