Refusing to meet bad actors with unified strength and yes, violence when necessary, only encourages more bad actors and actions.

This is a universal truth too many in our peaceful time have forgotten, and so the wheel is turning back towards authoritarianism and violence.

Who's "we"?

But, sure, sometimes everyone is. And sometimes we're not.

Nothing is black and white, and anyone who pretends otherwise is either a simpleton or is selling you something.

You do realize the US is the world's worst Empire and thus the one peddling authoritarianism and violence, right?
