"Pacifism"

It's strange how people misrepresent the meaning of words when it suits their purpose.

Such as "pacifism". It doesn't mean what some people wish it meant.

It isn't "pacifism" to oppose aggression. You can even oppose aggression violently. In fact, sometimes that's the only way you can oppose it effectively.

I oppose aggression in all its forms. I am not a pacifist. The very thought sickens me. I've known people who said they were pacifists, and if that's what they want I'm not going to insist they change. But pacifism seems like a rejection of responsibility. If you won't fight to protect yourself or others from archation, it seems like you are helping the bad guys.

i agree with you.

A nonaggressionist is not a pacifist.

Statists like to pretend the police, military, etc. are non-aggressionists protecting us from evildoers despite all the contrary evidence. They agree with anarchists in principle, but can't get past their indoctrination.

This is the perks we get following you great work sir,have a great day.

Wow great explanation about aggression sir,thanks a lot worth reading it.

Great thought... @dullhawk. There are perhaps many causes worth dying for, but to me, certainly, there are none worth killing for...

Sir you exposed the truth that pacifism is often the rejection of responcibility as many bad people here in the world who always try to harm other rights. So pacifism isn't the true solution if we can't protect us.

Right with you on this. Especially as that celebrated pacifist Gandhi was also a massive racist, sexual deviant and Indian supremacist. Apparently being a pacifist means you can say as many racist things as you like. It also enabled him to dismiss the Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Chinese and every other ancient civilization because Indian civilization is perfection.

This is so much happens in reality,great work sir in bringing up such amazing content.
