Pacifism is an ideal, not a reality. I have read too many books and listened to too many podcasts, where human decency without force to back it is utterly crushed.
It ain’t nice to hurt people. But it is worse to be unable to harm the people who don’t care about being a good person.
You still have to fight those who would harm others because they view the as “other.” I feel an actual pacifist wouldn’t involve themselves in the fight but know someone else would have the fight that issue and wouldn’t admonish them.
