This is a good article on why pacifism has not helped us overturn injustice historically, and won't in the future.
I do understand this to some degree, and unfortunately, only through the lens of privilege, I'm sure. I will have to read this in full later, but my quick glance take-away is that, by being a pacifist you essentially will be ruled by those who don't care at all and will commit atrocities against you, and, the least anyone can do is to defend themselves? Please correct me, and as I said, still need to read the entire thing!
I'll let you read the thing first.
You're thinking of non-violent pacifism. I am a violent pacifist. I say all the non-gunned people should attack guns people with their bare hand and destroy the guns unless there's no more guns, no more gunplants. Punch them in their disguisting face until they're bloody remains are nothing but meated flesh.
And them cut them dicks
