erabrand Yep. I’m no true pacifist believer, just generally been impressed with Erica’s research on when/why nonviolence is more effective.
-
erabrand Which is clearly in her research not always, and not just because it’s non-violent, and certainly not related to being “nice”...
-
erabrand ...Which is actually what interested me in relation to what you were saying—because that’s right on. Oppressors don’t sympathize.

erabrand And I agree completely about never telling others how to survive, or ruling out violence for everyone always.
-
erabrand I’m only skeptical of claims (left & right) that violence is more effective or authentic as a tactic for organized resistance.
