I feel it is my civic duty to point out though, that violence is often the answer and that even though general violence will not be needed by the people in this instance, selective violence will be perpetrated against all who have their necks stretched.
Violence is often the answer in human affairs and has solved many problems for the victors over the length and breadth of history.
In the Hobesian jungle of the dark ages violence was often the ONLY answer......
The thoughtless cliche of "violence is never the answer" pisses me off..... and I am not violent.
You cannot, however, dispute the pure wisdom of "The SUPREME art of war is to subdue the enemy without ever fighting..."
Well said. This reminds me of a saying I picked up in the military; “no one prays for peace more than a soldier.” Do I want violence? Not at all. Am I prepared to use violence? Yes. And having tasted war, I pray that day never comes.
Violence never solved anything.... except freeing Europe and the Orient from totalitarian armies, ending slavery in America, winning our independence from the British monarchy, and a few other things along the way.
Violence is sometimes needed, its having the wisdom and intelligence to know your not instigating unless it crosses lines. Self defense, is one good example that everyone can agree on. However if you don't need to use violence even in a self defense situation and can talk you way out that makes you a much better human being.
That being said, if the line is crossed, and we the people take up arms against oppressors, as show in history it will be bloody,and extremely violent. Those peaceful people who are forced to defend their way of life will be very angry as this will change them forever.
Everyone has a threshold as to how much or what they will tolerate. every situation is different and if you as a group role played it everyone would come at if from experience and wisdom. There is no real right answer, its what can you live with and justify your choices in life.
You are correct.
Rant on:-

Correct. Those where times wher the enemy was an identifiable force and coul be fought.
Today the enemy is hidden, attacked by infiltration, is global and can only be completely purged after fully exposing it to everyone to see!
Therefor the information warfare we are in. [Their] most powerful weapon is the MSM / Big Tech...
