I have no idea why nobody is killing these people.

I always kind of liked the take that empathy is self serving. You're kind and compassionate to others because it makes you feel good to do so. People without empathy are just less of a person for the lack of it.

Those are not legitimate sources and those examples are at best misleading. Pacifism can literally only get results when there's an explicit threat of violence and disorder if demands are not met. Never in the history of humans have rights been gained without violence.

That 19 percent doesn't know or care what's going on because it hasn't personally affected them yet.

This is why America deserves this.

So you hope the oppressors gain a conscience. Good fuckin luck with that. Violence to enforce is rarely justified, violence to defend usually is. Pacifism has never gained rights or prevented the loss of them.

How does one overthrow the shackles of oppression without violence?
