Topic: The Angry Pacifist

	John Kinsella: poet, novelist, critic, and journal editor
		Although not a pacifist, Kant regarded war as the greatest evil besetting human societies, and in one passage he goes so far as to describe war as the source of all evils and of all moral corruption.
		As a pacifist, I do believe that war is a "wrong", but I also agree that it's part of a "natural egoism": that is, that there's an inevitability in the human condition that leads to disagreement and conflict.
		For me, from the absolute pacifist perspective, the suffering of the guilty is, within the terms of the language of "justice", as unjust as the suffering of the innocent.

		If you feel too angry to think, engage in vigorous physical exercise to vent the pressure until you are calm enough to work through your anger.
		One woman felt both anger and love for her deceased husband: "I love him but WHY did he die when he knew we had a family to rear?" By identifying and expressing her anger as well as her love, this woman was taking steps to resolve her anger and restore inner peace.
		If she had suppressed her angry feelings, thinking they were wrong, she might have found herself loaded with deepseated guilt and depression.

	September 11, 2002:
		It's part of a pacifist sensibility to want to say, simply and repeatedly: these innocent people died by violence; let's mourn them, and let's keep mourning them until we're ready to be done with mourning.
		Being a pacifist means not acting on such emotions, but it doesn't mean not feeling them.
		Being a pacifist, of my sort at any rate, means being against reducing any individuals to numbers or categories, especially to the category of "collateral damage"; everyone who dies by violence is an individual, with a name and a face and parents and a history.

	One Hand Clapping
		Adding to my previous discussions on the shortcomings of contemporary pacifism, it seems to me that pacifists today have generally set up false dichotomies - that the choices we can make are between violence and non-violence, or between peace and war, and that in so choosing we are really choosing between sin and sinlessness.
		That is, Christian pacifists seem to propose that using military force is sinful, while refraining therefrom is sinless.
		Pacifists seem either unable to comprehend that fact or say it doesn't matter.

	Resist!ca \|\| Too Angry...For What? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		I recall it being mostly white males who call me "too angry." The women who call me "too angry" are usually women who are white, middle class, and very tied into the patriarchy as their support system.
		I think it is because using the "too" in front of the "angry" has an inherent judgment to it, and that the label "too angry" is used more often to control women, than as constructive behavioral criticism.
		M.L.King, jr., who many view as too pacifist, was called "too angry" as a way to try to neutralize his influence within the status quo.

		Gloria Steinem is called "too angry." Bell Hooks is labeled "too angry." Very intelligent women, who are notably full of genius and vision, have been and currently are, labeled "too angry." Basically, if you are an outspoken feminist, you will be labeled "too angry." It is guaranteed.
		Recently a friend of mine said somthing comparible to "you're too angry." (The exact words escape me.) But, I was brought back to an expierence where we tried to set up a benefit for a political prisoner and were told that we couldn't do it by thier support group.
		I understand the angry fl youth who yells shit at me on the street without knowing me. I DO NOT understand the rich white male assholes who scream at me to run across crosswalks for their BMWs.

	Interview With A Pacifist
		H: I think I’m looking for a way to say that I’m an “activist pacifist,” that is, someone who isn’t just opposed to war, but who is actively working towards a future where all human societies see state-sanctioned violence as a remnant of their “uncivilized” past – the way human sacrifice is viewed today.
		One of my favorite pacifists, Howard Zinn (who, by the way, had been an enthusiastic WWII bombardier before he thought deeply about what he had been doing), said this: If it had been suggested that we sacrifice 100 American children to end the war sooner, no American would have agreed.
		The people were angry and ready to abandon their nonviolent tactics – because the racist police don’t know any other language than brute force – but Dr. King urged them to keep strong in the spirit of nonviolence and love.

		The sun had gone down, it was two in the morning, and she was still hopping mad — at least as hopping mad as a good Quaker in the 19th century can ever be.

	A Pacifist Primer (Nonviolence.org)
		Many believe that pacifists avoid conflict due to some utopian hope that conflicts can be resolved without courage, sacrifice, or direct engagement with the adversary.
		Pacifists push the limits by suggesting that these intentions and methods are suitable - even necessary - for high-risk conflicts.
		As pacifists, we always risk some degree of failure: our skills might be inadequate to the task; our adversaries might not be moved; we might suffer emotional distress, loss of property, physical injury, or death.

	Transcript of Interview with the Pacifist Archibald Barrington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		We formed the Christian Pacifist Society with a view to uniting Christians of all denominations in total repudiation of war because it was unChristian — and to work for peace.
		But the Christian Pacifist Society was specifically Christian and I was either secretary or president of it for its first 25 years.
		But in the city, we'd have occasional interjections but the public were certainly not riotous or contentious and I can remember only one occasion when some young soldiers baled me up and shoved me off my soapbox, and baled me up behind a motorcar, and the police put me on a tram.

	Further Thoughts On Pacifism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This may be perfectly true, but so what? All the critics have shown is that pacifist activists will sometimes meet with failure.
		I believe that this argument leaves something out: the corrupting effects of violence. Even before I had adopted my current stance, I decided I would never carry a gun on me. I have lived in some fairly sketchy neighborhoods in my day, but nonetheless decided that it would be safer for me to remain unarmed.
		But doesn’t this philosophy lack integrity? After all, the only reason pacifists currently avoid domination is their protection from others who are willing to use violence. Without police and armies, the argument goes, pacifists living in prosperous regions would soon realize the weakness of their approach.

		Some Christians would be pacifists except for 'just wars' while others are pacifists (such as members of the historic peace churches) to the extent that they would actively attempt to prevent wars (including civil protests against the arms race) and would register as conscientious objectors in the event that they were drafted into the military.

	The Angry Economist
		I believe that it's poor economics to ignore those costs and say "Well, we must have regulations because a free market solution costs money." A free market solution is not impossible, but is instead simply more or less expensive than the regulated solution if all costs are tallied up.
		From my perspective as a pacifist, the expense of using the violence of the state to coerce peaceful people into creating a purported societal benefit is too high a price to pay.
		Since all evil has fraud or force at its root, I think that the shortest path to good is taken by avoiding the use of violence or lying, even when done to create something good.
