Pope Francis embodies the transformative power of nonviolence, offering hope to the strife-torn Middle East. His message echoes across borders, urging all to embrace dialogue and reconciliation #PopeFrancis #Nonviolence #MiddleEastPeace

I'm not gonna say Carmichael was wrong here, but it misses another factor.

Your nonviolence must be an implicit 'or else.'

If the people in power know you'll just go home if they refuse, they will always refuse.

“Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.”

- Malcolm X

Grateful for the opportunity to co-facilitate this workshop with colleagues on transforming conflict through non-violence.(AVP) In a world where peace is paramount, learning these approaches is crucial for fostering a society where everyone can thrive. #NonViolence #Peacebuilding

As opposed to what, a non-violent one? The status quo is already extremely violent. No repercussions for police or the fuckers responsible for inflating living costs, causing poverty and misery. To dedicate oneself to nonviolence is to decide the status quo is preferable.

As St. John Paul II said, ‘Violence is the enemy of justice’. It is in our hands to build a more nonviolent and just world. Will you join us on this path of hope? 🕊️🩵

Victor Ray I was recently reading a book called The Children by David Halberstam. In it he breaks the down the nonviolence training that the Nashville sit-in protesters followed.

This is literally what he talked about. When there is a great injustice, attempts to use power to suppress

“No more war, no more attacks, no more violence! Yes to dialogue and yes to peace!”-Pope Francis

: Indeed! Communists have sparked some of the most successful revolutions in the history of the world; [and] there are a lot of modern 'communists' regurgitating colonized, delusional 'nonviolence' narratives. We can never liberate ourselves by adopting colonized ideologies! 💡

Your reminder: nonviolence was a strategy. Not a requirement. Knock a bitch tf out

'When we demonize our enemies, calling them names and identifying them with absolute evil, we deny that they have that of God within them that makes transformation possible.'

–Walter Wink, *Jesus and Nonviolence*, 59.

god when the fucking theme comes in as Ferrer is giving this awesome monologue about nonviolence…they were cooking

Local Institute for Nonviolence doing an event with the Democrats during a genocide they're overseeing is probably one of the best illustrations of how nonsensical notions of nonviolence are under liberalism
