It\u2019s really important for people, including Satanists, to understand that while non-violent tactics may be all you\u2019re prepared to do, non-violence is not a real option when your adversary is a state committed to doing violence to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capital Area Satanists<\/a>\u00a0recently did a book study of This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible<\/a><\/em> by Charles E. Cobb Jr., and pacifist Quakers have repeatedly clarified that a commitment to pacifism means criticizing and opposing those most violent actors (the state), not the targets of violence who are engaged in struggles for liberation by any means necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I disagree that nonviolence is performative it certainly can be, but it isn’t by default. I also agree that choosing neutrality is siding with the oppressors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“Performative” is not quite the same thing as “in need of an audience”; it also needs that audience to be receptive and not thirsty for blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no non-violent resistance to a lynching; in the past, white US settlers made postcards of their bloody work. Today, it’s looped on the news for all to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one can die meekly enough for white supremacists not to say they deserved it, and some will say they deserved it purely for being weak enough not to stop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is pacifism then an evil?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Distinguishing between “evil” and “evil for me” is pretty important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Killing someone may not be what you’re prepared to do. Working with a group of paramilitary rebels may be going too far. But there are other ways to resist, and arguably, Willem van Spronsen<\/a> gave his life as a pacifist, trying to disable ICE vehicles in a concentration camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacifism can still be active resistance that puts your life in danger. It just can’t be passive<\/em>, or concerned with what’s legal, or concerned with stopping oppressors from getting hurt and denouncing other people resisting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you faint at the sight of blood, you can’t be a medic, but someone has to be, and that distinction is critical to afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
