Good on this guy.
In general, I despise pacifists. It is a cowardly, suicidal, stupid, and dishonest position. Almost all pacifists will fight on their own behalf. They just won’t fight on your behalf.
Well, depending “who you are”, I may not fight on your behalf. I wouldn’t also just go into a fight I didn’t know anything about either, you may end up helping the wrong person.
And in this day and age I would not fight for many categories of people in this country. The baby butchers for one, liberal marxists that despise me, another. Anti-religious assh0les are a third. Illegal immigrants swarming into the country like flies, a fourth.
CS Lewis makes a careful differentiation. Indeed, he says, many who claim the mantle of pacifism are nothing but cowards who cloak themselves in the moral superiority of non-violence, and not only try to hide their own cowardice, but arrogantly lord their alleged moral rectitude over others. But Lewis cautions against lumping these types together with the tiny number of people who truly believe in non-violence and are content with submitting to the injuries, insults and indignities of this world, in pursuit of the peace and comfort of the next.
