It's not non-violent if it's causing harm.

It's not non-violent if it's causing harm.
- sshine 3y agoShooting a ship with a gunboat is still more violent than tossing a used fishing net.
- rexpop 3y agoTossing a million such nets is a more fair comparison.
- sshine 3y agoThe catastrophe of tossing plastics into the ocean is arguably worse than the combined sinking of ships with cannons. But to call it violent because of the cumulative pain it indirectly causes is still a different, more abstract concept of pain than direct infliction. I’m not opposed to acknowledging either as pain, or to say that either is the worst, but they’re different.
