There's cowards masquerading as morally righteous pacifists in every liberation movement. Folks can have their opinions, not everyone is built for revolution.
Most important thing is isolating them from information they can use against the movement as snitches or self appointed tone/action police.
not everyone is capable of inflicting the violence needed, but if that's the case they should stand aside and close their eyes instead of rallying the troops (heh) around a peaceful death
As if the oppressed determine the means of aquiring power.
Not only do we already live under a violent system, but the oppressed always attempt peaceful means first.
... no change has happened in history without violence. It's that sad, cold, uncomfortable truth. Should we talk about the civil war? How about WW1 oooor WW2? Pacifists can choose to do nothing but they need to get out of the way for those that can!
Weird thing though is the bad guys don’t see a problem with violence so are we just gonna all block their path to the levers of power with our rotting and bullet-ridden corpses or what.

I only say "they should be isolated" because often they open their eyes and end up knowing too much for their, or the movements, own good. 😉
Just go stand on your little corner w your little sign and chant. Lemme know if the cops/brownshirts care you're "one of the good ones".
I think we're not teaching history very well.
Like people talk about California as this super liberal state but there's more Republicans there than in most of the Southern states combined
