Your unconditional rejection of violence makes you
smugly think of yourselves as noble, as enlightened, but in
reality it is nothing less than abject moral capitulation
to evil. Unconditional rejection of self-defense, because
you think it's a supposed surrender to violence, leaves you
no resort but begging for mercy or offering appeasement.
Evil grants no mercy, and to attempt to appease it is
nothing more that a piecemeal surrender to it. Surrender
to evil is slavery at best, death at worst. Thus, your
unconditional rejection of violence is really nothing more
than embracing death as preferable to life. You will
acheive what you embrace. The right, the absolute
necessity, of vengeance against anyone who initiates force
against you is fundamental to survival. The morality of a
people's self-defence is in its defense of each
individual's right to life. It's an intolerance of
violence, made real by an unwavering willingness to crush
any who would launch violence against you. The
unconditional determination to destroy any who would
initiate force against you is an exaltation of the value of
life. Refusing to surrender your life to any thug or
tyrant who lays claim to it is in fact embracing life
itself. If you are unwilling to defend your right to your
own lives, then you are merely like mice trying to argue
with owls. You think their ways are wrong. They think you
are dinner.
