You hurt your own cause by being so willing to make everything black and white.
I want people who fight for good by cooking meals to do that and understand they are having an impact.
I want teachers who will not lie to their students.
I want religious leaders who will point out the hypocrisy of those using religion to divide.
None of those things are “fighting.” All of them, and many more, are important.
If you feel like violent resistance is what you are good at and what is needed, I encourage you to think about all the other forms of resistance necessary for any violent campaign to produce long-lasting positive results and perhaps reconsider how quick you are to dismiss others and if that is truly helpful for your cause.
I encourage you to not be so black and white by your definition of “fighting”. I consider most* forms of resistance as fighting, not just violent ones. We’ll take whatever we can get as far as that is concerned, but you can’t deny that it will ultimately take physical resistance as well. Some have the capacity for both.

Perhaps it is worth considering why your comment got my response, then. Perhaps you aren’t conveying your meaning as well as you could.
Absolutely and agreed. We need people much more adept than me at conveying this information to the people that need to hear it.
