Pacifism works until it doesn't.

At some point, talking unfortunately just isn't enough. There is a point where more direct action is needed. It's why we had to have a war with Nazi Germany.

If we always go non-violent then it lets those who are willing to be violent to take advantage of us and have their way. I'll take small violences like punching Nazis over big violences like war any day.
