Edge cases are not fruitful exercises when adopting your core values. These guide your life, not dictate it
Agreeing that someone dying of dehydration taking a bottle of water from the store and drinking it is morally acceptable doesn’t mean “I don’t support theft” is no longer a worthy cause…

Presuming I’m trying to align an idealist philosophy w pragmatic application?
I’m not ignorant that if extremely threatened there is a >0 chance that value systems are compromised
I’ll invest my time more wisely than hypothesizing when I’d kill

Even in horror, humanity matters
Love that destroys to protect ceases to be whole
There was no peaceful alternative to World War II, but that’s an indictment of humanity, not a vindication of violence
Pacifism is the work of preventing the world from ever reaching that point again

Pacifism isn’t blind to suffering. Refusing to kill isn’t refusing to act
Violence can stop evil for a period of time, but it cannot heal it
Pacifism seeks justice without losing humanity, resisting cruelty without letting hate become the weapon of choice

I politely disagree that meeting violence w violence is the only or best solution
I’m not trying to change your mind. We’re all in this in different ways
But modeling the behavior of non-violence and supporting the end to all wars is the path I’ve chosen
The only “side” I choose is peace

Self defense on an individual level isn’t necessarily incongruous with pacifism
Various philosophies differ on the self defense topic
But we largely agree that nation states should always adopt a position of non-violence

Every animal has a fight or flight response
Violence is often unavoidable in those situations, unfortunately
Choosing a life of non-violence doesn’t insulate from aggression, it simply seeks to avoid it
People act in ways I disagree with all of the time

If subscribing to a philosophy of nonviolence makes me an easy target that is the cost of living free from the hate and anger necessary to muster violence
Love is free. Joy is free
Hate always has a price
