I used to be a peacenik. I thought everyone should be a passivist.

Then I realized that people like Putin love to take advantage of those people and will not be reasoned with.

No, not really. Especially not their leaders.

@jurban Putin is hoping for passiveness, but we cannot sit back and say nothing, do nothing. It's how dictators get their stronghold. If we aren't fighting for democracy in Ukraine, it's an indication it's not being fought for in the US. The extremists are hoping for that stronghold daily.

@Catzly
I've read that encouraging a lack of interest in politics is a strategy the soviet and Russian leadership employed to ensure their positions in authority.

Basically, nobody cared what was going on.

And, they assume that leadership knows what's best because they have access to more information than the public.

@jurban @Catzly Pacifists are especially beloved by conquerors.
