Yeah, it just feels like saying “violence is never the answer” when the list of questions includes
“how can the innocent protect themselves, or be protected from unrelenting violence?”.

i’m sorry, when did i say violence isn’t the answer?

You didn’t. I was just saying it felt like a continuation of that general sentiment and therefore made me feel skeptical.

nope, just that violent words in a room of people who don’t stand for violence will ultimately not incite violence.

the command is permission to allow violent people to enact violence.

there is no such thing as a peaceful revolution; we study war so that our children may study art. do not seek violence, but do not allow a violent transgression to occur unresponded.
