Sorry, I absolutely abhor violence as a means to an end (and in all cases really).

  Violence sometimes absolutely is the right response. Let me quote some George Orwell: "Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other.

    In the context of 1942, sure, but there are many other contexts where such views are over-simplistic or dangerous.

  Note the parent said non-peaceful. They did not say violent. You can have non-violent, non-peaceful protest. (E.g., making a ton of noise at specific places to disrupt their ability to work there isn't peaceful, see also blockading businesses and roads.) A lot of civil disobedience fits in non-peaceful (not calm, not orderly) and non violent.

    Good point, I mistakenly assumed non-peaceful to in fact mean violent.

  How do you think the USA was made? Rejecting violence is un-american lol.
