Pacifists feign high minded morality. It's just easier to disavow violence, than to justify the cause you fight for. But no more worthwhile. Homogeny and peace Over Progress and conflict.
Tell the dead they're right For not having fought back. Let Gandhi tell you that the world mirrors the nature of the man. See if his wives agree.
Let Martin Luther King Jr. tell you about the merits of nonviolence from his martyred eversleep. Ask Genghis Khan if his legacy is great. Ask Alexander The Great. Ask George Washington.
The few successful pacifists Are remarkable. Because they were successful.
