Hello. I witnessed racial and religious persecution.

I can tell you my stories. But I always wonder what is the alternative when someone like me is attacked? Should I give my left cheek? Should I attempt to be a pacifist?

People who are against violence by all means necessary are privileged because they never have to witness someone’s head roll down. So they don’t know how it feels to be the receiving end of suffering.

<< People who are against violence by all means necessary are privileged

I think you misunderstand the point. My argument is that each act of political violence ( especially on a national stage ) further degrades existing society. That ongoing degradation is a real problem and, yes, individual suffering is irrelevant to it, because, society is a greater good.

You may say those say it are privileged, but to that I say that I like having working society. It keeps being us civil. I like it to stay that way.

If you feel otherwise, please elaborate. It is possible, I am misunderstanding you.
