because everyone wont be pacifist

Because if everybody is a lamb you're just food for the first wolf to come along

Depends on what you mean by 'work'.

It can be effective at sending a message, but it's obviously not going to win a war.

>Be in a pacifist country.

>Terrorist group terrorises the country

>All weapons and equipment not destroyed taken by the terrorist group.

>Country cant do anything

>Said country becomes an Islamic Caliphate

At least we didn't turn to violence :DDDD

Because we are just retarded..we proud ourselves to be the most intelligent species on earth but we are just animals and like animals we fight for money, lands, women, food, power...it is sad, but isnt the true always sad?

that's precisely the idea
if everyone is pacifict, no one is

Look what the Maoris did to the Moriori and you'll understand.

>Killer busts down your door
>You sing kumbaya
>He slices your throat

>non violence will be the force that changes the world.

PFFFF

>Why does pacifism not work?
There will always be violent niggers and injuns

> It's all very well to laugh at the military, but when one considers the meaning of life, it is a struggle between alternative viewpoints of life itself. And without the ability to defend one's own viewpoint against other perhaps more aggressive ideologies, then reasonableness and moderation could, quite simply, disappear. That is why we'll always need an army, and may God strike me down were it to be otherwise.

>Why does pacifism not work?

My country was pacifist in the 1930's.
Needless to say a "certain neighbor" decided to invade us.

That said, if we had resisted the outcome would have been the same at much higher cost.

pacifism works great. natural selection in action

The meek shall inherit.

India.

>And without the ability to defend one's own viewpoint against other perhaps more aggressive ideologies
Hiring a bunch of retards and ordering them to blindly kill what the current government wants them to kill is the best way to defend our viewpoint against agressive ideologies

>then reasonableness and moderation could, quite simply, disappear.
Because it won't disappear if you give in to the "muh more military means more safety" meme?

wew lad

watch Demolition man

Demolition Man doesn't even make sense because you'd never get that far with it. Violence is a part of nature and the driving force behind society. It's not like laws and resources are maintained by asking politely.

shut up nerd.

...

pacifism is an ideal, not a way of life. Even a pacifist has an obligation to defend himself and his neighbor, but only puts the necessary force forward.

>pacifist

>Get exterminated
>Remain pacifist
>Be destroyed
Every species, every life form has the one goal to survive, if it's too late to fight back when you're being exterminated then what's the point of being a pacifist?
