Which itself is a valid philosophy. I might not believe in it, I personally think you cannot afford to be pacifist in a world that is willing to use violence against you. But I’d much rather sit with a pacifist (or someone else who has a philosophy I don’t believe in, yet can understand) than a racist.
Thankfully you don’t have to choose! You could instead sit with the people eager to actively fight against racism instead of making up excuses to let thrive
No we don’t. A blanket “violence bad” philosophy is protecting those who do violence to others. Sometimes violence is necessary and this fact needs to be understood by everyone. Especially with the way things are. Some people can’t be reasoned with.
I’m thinking they may just disapprove of violence.

This needs to be written across the sky in flaming letters. (Along with “Be excellent to each other”.)
