    But pacifism isn’t inaction. It is action with the intent to do no harm.

    sure thing, pussy

    violence comes at a grander social price. Simply embracing it because someone else has only compounds the costs.

    It is not strictly a paradox, but it is an unsolved problem.

    nah

    The cost of violent action

    the cost of non violent action is to let sociopaths win.

    Violating a social compact erodes trust. You reap a short term gain while everyone pays a long term price.

    we’re fighting for the future of humanity and all the life on this planet. that battle will be decided this century. you’re the one that’s short sighted.

      Buddy, you don’t know what you mean. These words have a historical context. They don’t just mean what you having bouncing around between your ears. Utopianism describes a series of real social movements that involved actual people organizing to build intentional communities. Its not just vibes.
