#Pacifism
Is this pacifism or transphobia or both or what?

Our Home Secretary's immigration policy's primary goal is to stop people like this man from sending her death threats.

I appreciate it isn't her intent, but it is unacceptable to me that my pacifism grants me less agency than his violence.
Restore have a new policy: revoke all new citizenship grants

Lowe proposes new (unlawful) racial discrimination. Citizenship of spouses not revoked if UK-born British national has a parent born in UK but would be revoked when they don't (eg Rishi Sunak's wife would not get citizenship: his parents)

I can respect the quaker sort of personal ethical pacifism of "I will never participate in violence for any reason" but not the "a polity has no right to defend itself from aggression" pacifism

Opinion: It's easy for your pacifism to be passive when you come from the world's largest country. But the rest of the world doesn't have that luxury, argues Yan Shenkman.

or maybe it’s his interpretation of Rosie’s instructions – that the way to get Charlie to be empowered is to crush her optimism, naivety and pacifism

Hegseth announced yesterday that active duty military can now get their advanced theological degree at no cost while serving in the military and then serve as chaplains in the military.

My pacifism aside, I have a lot of questions about the legality of this and cannot find many details on it.

Delighted that my new article is now available to read open access with Modern British History.
It is entitled ‘As near to war as it was possible to get in peace time’: physical education, youth, and pacifism in inter-war Britain.

‘As near to war as it was possible to get in peace time’: physical education, youth, and pacifism in inter-war Britain
Abstract. The relationship between nationalism, militarism, and sport has been well illustrated. But the not-so-obvious relationship between pacifism and p

From the rise and fall of Rome.
Gibbon famously contended that Christianity undermined traditional Roman civic virtue, pacifism, and devotion to the state by shifting people's focus toward an afterlife and personal salvation rather than earthly duty.

They will try to break us.
Call us violent for the justification to be violent back to us.
They will force us to eat when we stay and starve to prove our points.
They will kill and cover it up.
Words and pacifism are still tools we need. But we need demonstrators and standing up to the oppression.

Del was never fond of these missions bc he didn’t like hurting non-elementals/organics so Palladium was sent to aid him. But he was mainly there for protection. While being skilled in combat, he chose to work in the medical field and idealize pacifism.

you got your pacifism - i got survivalism

Stationing armed peacekeepers in states at risk of invasion and/or humanitarian atrocities is a vital part of pacifism, ensuring a future world without the mass slaughter that is war.

We've stood back and watched too many times.

I never want to fight, ever, but I have learned that these people are cowards who count on the pacifism of others to get away with acting like shit heads.

It’s crazy how much their demeanor shifts when they realize their bigotry puts them in danger.

I remember his profile on DVD said something to the effect of:

"It is proof of his kindness and pacifism that he uses his sword (a weapon built for attack) only for defense"

One of the reasons the Twin Cities successfully resisted occupation is that those in the streets practiced nonviolence, but not pacifism. They did not descend into a mob. They did not break stuff just to break stuff. They simply stood their ground and made it impossible for ICE/CBP to win.
The secret to Minnesota’s successful ICE resistance has been that, from the very start, participants have been told to assume they are surveilled at all times. And indeed, it turns out we were! But participants have been incredibly disciplined about restricting themselves to legal activities.
NEW: Court records in the prosecution of 15 Minnesota residents reveal a sweeping spying operation against left-wing activists that involves ~120 HSI agents, putting it in the realm of notorious anti-left campaigns like COINTELPRO of the Cold War era. @awinston.bsky.social reports:

Europe’s pacifism is going to be their death, fire in Spain, riot in France and Germany all Russia’s responsibilities. Their politicians taking Putin’s Oligarchs money to stop their govt from retaliating. While their country burn they look like they are impotent to fighting back hybrid warfare.
Treating suspicion as proof could undermine the scrutiny being demanded: any Reform funding probe should trace donors and intermediaries through regulators and law enforcement, with MI5—not MI6—addressing a domestic foreign-interference threat.
Security culture
Europe is struggling on how to better work together. The last step will be to build a common security culture and a joint intelligence service. Far far away scenario

The City on the Edge of Forever, probably the most famous old trek ep, is about how pacifism is unworkable and was a quite deliberate ideological justification for Vietnam.

sentimental leftist pacifism always had these weird honor culture bullshit traits

A new history asks: Should Friends in Revolutionary-era Philadelphia committed to pacifism be seen as neutrals, refusing to bear arms for either side, or were Quaker exhortations to abjure rebellion a form of loyalism to the British crown?
Philadelphia Quakers and the American Revolution
The commitment of Revolutionary-era Quakers to their peace testimony led to a contentious relationship with the new American government.
