       I'm genuinely curious, concretely how are you planning to end
       violence without ever retaliating? (besides using your time
       machine)

       Retaliating doesn't end violence that's the thing, it just
       returns it. When I look it up in the dictionary that's all it
       means. Revenge. I first took it to mean fighting/resisting
       against violence. And I wanted to do so with as little violence
       as possible (which I now believe is NONE). But yous don't even
       wanna fight violence you wanna fight PEOPLE.
       Anyway yeah I fully agree that once violence has occurred that's
       it, corrupt file (Wtf is even worth fighting for, then?). But I
       don't recall ever capitulating. Whatever my body and mind
       underwent, my spirit was always free and always will be. I've
       gone back in time, revisited my memories, and as much as we'll
       struggle against violence, because it contradicts the very core
       of our being, we'll never allow it to actually occur on a
       spiritual level (where it truly counts). I defend the immortal
       dignity of the spirit, idc what anyone says.
       This is what I mean by going back in time. Reclaiming innocence.
       No machine necessary.

       it's unfortunate that you once considered our method but came to
       abandon it, I previously considered persuasion to be superior
       some time after my "maturation" but from a very young age I
       always enjoyed playing fighting games while pretending that my
       adversary was immoral individual. I appreciate the main site
       because it helped me go back to my golden age.
       I'd write the Jesus sword quote here but I'm too goofy to
       remember it.

       That's not a "method" and it certainly isn't unfortunate that I
       don't want to perpetuate violence. I'm not saying persuasion >
       fighting, either can be violent or nonviolent. And I want to
       note I'm not saying my method is all that needs to be done, it's
       just an affirmation, which actually frees our mobility to
       practice whichever form of antiviolence feels just; confident in
       its purity and effectiveness.
       As for regarding certain people as "immoral" - I wouldn't call
       the immoral "people", I wouldn't consider they have a soul to be
       violated in the first place. And in fact if you really want to
       insult and defeat someone, you cast them into the void, not
       vicariously endure their suffering.
       This is freedom/justice.

       "That's not a 'method'"
       I'm speaking about natural methods, which you said you once
       believed in.
       "and it certainly isn't unfortunate that I don't want to
       perpetuate violence."
       I think it is, for the victims of initiated violence.
       I was going to ask you to elaborate on some other things you
       said but since you didn't really answer my last question I think
       I'll leave it at that lol

       In other words, violent methods? I don't believe in them because
       they're incongruent with ideal goals, which unlike 90sRetroFan,
       is ending violence altogether, not reigning in Hell.

       This upsets me because people don't want to hurt others,
       especially if they know how terrible violence is through
       personal experience. What you're suggesting to "help" victims
       (cruelty to others) is really just rubbing salt in their wounds
       and creating more victims.

       Concretely how I plan to end violence, you mean? I gave the
       ultimate, spiritual answer. If you want a complete, step by step
       worldly method I'm afraid no one has the answer. But I certainly
       believe in things like Aryanization and veganism; the struggle
       is uniting people.

       --- End Quote ---
       In summary, you think it is possible to torture small animals
       for fun in a pure-hearted way, and to disagree is to demonize
       the torturer.
       "Those you deem as "deserving of hell" are likewise individuals
       who never consented (and never would consent) to such a label."
       Not likewise. Firstly, deserving hell is a judgement, not an
       identification. Secondly, an individual has to choose to do
       something before I decide they deserve hell. An individual
       called a "cat" was not called a cat because of something they
       chose to do. In fact, when humans decided to call a group of
       individuals "cats", they were including future individuals which
       had not yet even been born! I will never say someone who has not
       yet been born deserves hell.
       "Do you find this acceptable?"
       It may be or it may not be, depending on who it is.
       "Rather than rebelling, you're resigning to the conditions of
       reality, despite disapproving of them. This is slave mentality."
       No, slave mentality would be ceasing to disapprove in order to
       feel more comfortable with the conditions of reality.

       **If said torture is unintentional. If one is oblivious to the
       true nature of what they're doing. They aren't choosing to
       torture an animal. It's also possible a cat is coerced by its
       instincts. When I watch a predator I'm not sure it's 100%
       voluntary. Either way, it's no different morally than when we
       were unwittingly fed animals as children, and so on.

       If you truly disapproved, you wouldn't feel comfortable enough
       with said conditions to tolerate them eternally.

       I don't know about the movie as a whole. You're really grasping

       I don't understand this logic? If the initiator of violence dies
       in a retaliatory strike does not the initiated violence end with
       that individuals death? By destroying the initiator how then can
       that individual ever initiate more violence?
       Clearly not all "cats" are the same either:
