I'm of the opinion both violent and nonviolent means are probably necessary and there's plenty of nonviolent means of engagement. no war has been fought without support from somewhere, whether that's a national war machine or the supporting element of an insurgency. there's always logistics, resources, and well organization that has to occur.

I'm in no condition to fight myself, but over the coming decades I'm gonna have to be thinking about how much violence I'm comfortable being around and how much we can support people in the thick of it. violence is definitely present already in day to day life, but it's more of an orphan-crushing-machine kind of violence that feels more normal.
