Look, I was trying to make a point. Of course you have to defend yourself if your life is in imminent danger, that’s different. But there is always a paradigm shifting idea which renders force obsolete. Seeing as we’re on a decentralized platform that runs on BTC, I thought it was relevant. Revolutions aren’t necessarily violent, nor was the obsolescence of abject slavery, in fact, now slaves just don’t know they’re slaves. A good idea in the hands of evil people are no less effective. The revolutionaries in America used subversive and less forceful tactics on the battlefield that won them their independence. Good ideas always trump force even if the outcomes weren’t used for a moral good. I’m sure certainly you have read sun tzu.

Yes I have read The Art of War. I also agree that the use of force needs to always be last resort. However, evil prevails when good people stay passive…this is historically true.
