 there was also a thread of pacifism in your recent notes too, this has some relevance

is it pacifist to get out of the way of a violent entity or group, and refuse to join the war that they are starting?

i think there is two ways of interpreting the concept of pacifism - one is bending over, the other is gtfo

i'm a pacifist but i am a gtfo pacifist

once the violence inevitably abates i'm still there and the participants are more damaged than me
