Refusing to fight an enemy who's trying to harm you won't make your enemy lose control. It'll allow them to proceed to harm you, free from any prevention on your part. You twisted Sun Tzu's quote to fit your pacifist narrative even though Sun Tzu wasn't a pacifist. He wrote an entire book called "The Art of War." Have you even read it? He believed in minimizing conflict whenever possible, which is smart, not pacifism, which is the opposite.

@Radical_EgoCom I’d like to address some points raised about my earlier post. While I don’t expect agreement, I believe these ideas deserve thoughtful exploration.

I’ll respond to each point in turn to clarify my position—and share why I believe peace is not just possible, but the strongest strategy. (1/12)

@Radical_EgoCom It’ll allow them to harm you, free from any prevention.’

Prevention doesn’t always mean confrontation. Often, the best prevention is denying the enemy what they want—your reaction. Without that, their power weakens. (3/12)

@Radical_EgoCom ‘You twisted Sun Tzu’s quote to fit your pacifist narrative.’

I never claimed Sun Tzu was a pacifist. He was a strategist. His teachings guided me toward pacifism—not as surrender, but as a way to avoid pointless conflict and win through control. (4/12)

@Radical_EgoCom ´Have you even read The Art of War?’

Yes. And a central teaching is this:

‘To win without fighting is the acme of skill.’

This is not about weakness—it’s about mastering conflict without waste or destruction. (5/12)

@Radical_EgoCom Sun Tzu believed in minimizing conflict whenever possible, which is wise—and exactly why I see pacifism as strategic.

With enough creativity, patience, and time, conflict can almost always be minimized. War is sometimes effective in the short term—but peace is always the stronger strategy in the long run. (6/12)”

@Radical_EgoCom ‘Pacifism is the opposite of strategy.’

Not at all. Strategy is about choosing your battles. Walking away from a no-win fight isn’t weakness—it’s knowing when fighting drains your strength instead of protecting it. (7/12)

@Radical_EgoCom I was once drawn to aggression when I felt surrounded by hostility. The Art of War showed me that there’s power in restraint.

Leaving my school wasn’t surrender—it was strategy. I stopped fighting battles designed to break me and found strength elsewhere. (8/12)

@Radical_EgoCom Pacifism isn’t just avoiding conflict—it’s about mastering it. A true pacifist knows that conflict must be resolved, not ignored.

When you understand this, peace isn’t weakness—it’s power without waste. (9/12)

@Radical_EgoCom War may win quick victories, but in the long run it’s costly, destructive, and unsustainable.

A just world peace isn’t idealism—it’s the smarter strategy. It requires patience, creativity, and wisdom, but the outcome is far stronger than anything war can achieve. (10/12)

@Radical_EgoCom I believe that with enough creativity, patience, and time, peace is always possible.

Violence may seem powerful in the moment, but peace built on strategy and understanding will always outlast force.

A just world peace is not just a hope—it’s a goal worth working toward. (11/12)

@Radical_EgoCom I’ve shared my thoughts not to argue, but to clarify. I know not everyone will agree, and that’s fine.

For those who believe peace is possible—and that it’s the strongest path forward—I hope this offered something valuable. (12/12)
