"Only violence works!" is stupid for exactly the same reason as "only non violence works!"

The two are synergistic and contextual, fool.

    every time i see these centrist arguments, i feel like i should be keeping meme's that explain the point succinctly, but then i have to keep reminding myself that all that effort will be ignored anyways.

    Can you clarify what this actually means?

    Sure thing. It's a parable wherein you are menaced by a creature dead set on devouring you and choose to react by pretending that violent self defense is an an unreasonable response.

    Okay. That's what I thought. So can you see where my confusion is coming from? Because I didn't dismiss the utility of violence.

    Did you possibly misunderstand my comment? I described violence and non-violence as synergistic practices and ridiculed people who fail to understand that neither one can function independent of the other.
