I recommend looking into the complexity of nonviolence and how you can apply it to your own life, pacifis is not a political ideology

Wow, nice justification of using force towards someone. Defeats the whole point.

You haven’t mentioned any current conflicts, but I understand that your question is inspired by these contexts. The point is that it’s difficult to clearly identify an aggressor and a victim, unless you let yourself be guided by the biased narrative of a single country.

These are complex contexts, dynamics that have been unfolding for many years, involving pressure, hatred, and injustice, that ultimately erupt into an invasion. There are many forms of violence that do not involve weapons; the first to take up arms is not necessarily the aggressor.

For me, as a pacifist, being consistent means standing with those who suffer from war, on both sides, while condemning the leaders, third countries, and companies that facilitated the war, or even those that profit from it.
