Nah, I’m not a pacifist. I just think if we’re getting a fresh start in a new place, maybe it’s a chance to be a little more civil.

“I am okay with violence, as long as it’s my side that’s doing it. That’s because our cause is just.”

If everyone followed this philosophy, the world would be a much worse place. You can’t be this way and be on the right side of history. If you have 100 great points, this undermines all of them.

It’s also silly to see someone complaining about being portrayed as violent and then immediately going into talking about violence.

We shouldn’t be punching anyone in the gut. Violence isn’t the answer.

I have observed that corporations often use cult tactics to engender loyalty in their employees. But they call it “culture” and play it off like it’s a good thing.
