What if Ukraine had peacefully laid down their arms and “migrated” (which they had to do anyway) and “surrendered” (which some did anyway), died and been tortured & raped (which many have anyway) and then took the long road of negotiation, diplomacy, arbitration, politicking, learning, preaching, goal-setting/strategically
I’ve been called (including recently) … irrational, illogical, a fool, Don Quixote, an idiot, a bleeding-heart-liberal, … even “toxic” & an asshole. … “Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I confess to all of these!!!!!!”
Nevertheless, I think a pacifist process, a christian approach, the way of Jesus of Nazareth et al. would be the only rational & decent one. War begets War. Arms, armaments, military/soldiers kill! It’s high time for systematic system change! Real change. (Let’s do something! Join Veterans For Peace! Help mount big international protests against War and guns and soldiers. Etc., etc., etc. … I’m sick & tired of “this … including my own de facto lack of action!)
… And since I am an asshole, I think that those who have called me irrational, illogical, a fool, an idiot, and toxic, should look in the mirror, and reflect on their own toxic actions, or de facto self-imposed ignorance, complacency, and inaction.
Love,
