I think no violence remains a fantastically right choice, even if it is infeasible. Nietzsche describes somewhere how great a nation willing to be destroyed would be. I am unconcerned with abstract moral grey areas, but the only life that makes sense to me is one revolted by violence and is motivated by peaceful being. I understand that contemplation of those grey areas is important and valuable all the same. Still, in my view, individuals lack autonomy in no few instances. It is beyond the power of the individual to resist compulsory acts, provided that the lever of compulsion is significantly insurmountable. It seems that every act short of violence is preferable to violence. Violence remains inevitable; it is simply appalling. I understand that this position is the result of a kind of moral luck, but this is also a statement of gratitude for so much good fortune. What I cannot comprehend are those that benefit from this same luck and squander it.
