not sure I agree and i think perhaps it’s a difference in definition, I’d say what he’s talking about as cowardice under my definition. We see this playing out in Ukraine by not going all in against Russia, similar by not being outraged about gaga we side with the fascists and Cuba, the random killing of fisherman in The Caribbean etc etc

but to me pacifism means the violence of war is a last resort, not the go to first reaction but if you must engage, go all in.
