You don't have to use every tool in the world just because they exist. It also doesn't mean you're "disempowered". Choosing one or the other is a personal choice, for personal reasons, and doesn't necessarily imply something about that person, their morals, reasons, or abilities. One person could use a gas-powered weed whacker, while another weeds by hand. I'll bet you money the second person is a better gardener, knows more about how to get rid of weeds, enjoys themselves more, and is healthier. But they're shunning technology, oh no!! They must be a fool, to be pitied and judged. There's nothing wrong with giving up violent weapons for pacifist ideals. And "the real problem" is taking one person's life decisions and boiling them down to something inaccurate to fit your own narrative.
