“Men have been pacifists for every reason under the sun except to avoid danger and fighting.”
― William Faulkner

Heads up PLEASE!!!

I fear the Trump administration will plant violent protesters among our peaceful protests. They will use this as an excuse to use force against us. From this moment forward, at every protest, we must do the following:
The moment violence or property damage begins, EVERY OTHER PROTESTER MUST immediately sit on the floor or the ground in silence, with signs down.. #Gandhi #passiveresistance #pacifists

This will reveal paid fake thugs posing as protesters becoming violent. The sitting down must spread like a "wave" in a football stadium throughout the crowd of protesters.
Local police officers will immediately see WHO is doing the damage, and the rest of us will demonstrate our non-violent innocence and retain our Constitutional right to peaceful protest. Retweet, repost, and shout it from the rooftops at every protest you attend. #Gandhi #passiveresistance #pacifists

Where are my #pacifists for #Luigi at? Because state violence is always materially worse, no matter what you think about revolutionary violence. Tolstoy and liberation theology taught me that.

What an absolute joke 😃

The mighty #US navy can't even deal with the Houthi tribesmen!

The Houthi are still as happily in business as they ever were.

It's amazing what you CAN'T do with a few million dollars.

#OTD in 1943 five #ConscientiousObjectors began a hunger strike at the United States Northeastern Penitentiary in #Lewisburg Pennsylvania, they were soon joined by a sixth.

Forced feeding of the religious and political #pacifists refusing to fight #WWII began October 22nd as they persisted to oppose what they felt was unjust and unconstitutional "Totalitarian" control of their lives. The hunger strike ended in December 1943 when the head of the Federal Bureau of #Prisons, ended the #censorship of their mail but retained the right to read #PrisonerMail. The men were released after the conclusion of World War II.

One of those #LewisburgPrison #HungerStrikers was a theological seminary student named #DaveDellinger who had been educated at Yale and Oxford before joining the Divinity School of NYC Theological Seminary. Dellinger had already learned as an ambulance driver in the #SpanishCivilWar that "whoever won the armed struggle, it would not be the people". Dellinger later worked with the Berrigan brothers, Daniel Ellsberg and helped organize the 1967 protest march that encircled the #Pentagon. Dellinger would later end up as the oldest member of the #Chicago7 protesters, who was acquitted in a show trial alongside Abbie Hoffman in the late 60's. He made trips to Japan to protest #AtomicWeapons, and went to China and North Vietnam, securing the release of captured American servicemen, acting as a go-between with North Vietnamese leader #HoChiMinh.

#Pacifists in shambles after realizing nuclear wars will end global warming.

⬆️ Clear articulation of 3 discrete & concurrent wars that seem to blend into 1:
—#Hamas
—#Netanyahu's Travesty
—#Antisemitism

"#Pacifists turn the other cheek…For me…#aggression is the worst thing…And aggression must sometimes be defeated by force"

In "the most urban war ever fought…I don’t know how many [children are killed], & neither do you, because only source for their numbers is Hamas"

100s of millions are confounding #Palestine with Hamas

Problem isn't #Zionism. It's #Arabism

@anderspuck Thanks for spelling out what the "#pacifists" (they are obnoxiously loud here in #Italy) really want when they clamour to suspend arm deliveries to #Ukraine and get into "peace talks" with #Russianterrorists
