Civilization As The Gradual Refusal Of Violence Civilization is often described as humanity's triumph over violence, yet much of what modern life depends upon still requires harm, often hidden, procedural, or framed as unavoidable. This book frames civilization not as a finished state but as a direction of travel, a slow and uneven movement away from killing, coercion, and domination as default tools for solving problems. https://zacharyperlman.com/civilization-refusal-of-violence #history #psychology #sociology #nonviolence

Reminder: it's a war crime to bombard targets in/near built-up areas where civilian casualties are likely (UN EWIPA, 2022), as is deliberately targetting non-combatants (UN Security Council Resolution 1265, 1999) or civilian infrastructure (UN Security Council Resolution 2573, 2021). In war, these rules apply as much to the victims of invasion (e.g. Ukraine, Palestine) as to the invaders (Russia, Israel). "Whataboutism" is irrelevant. It's not an "accident" when you blow up a hospital or a playground near your target; it's murder. #nonViolence #protection #humanitarian

The steps on the spiritual path cannot be the corpses of other beings. To walk The Way, violence must be cast aside. Free yourself by freeing others! #saha #sahadukkha #nonviolence #ahimsa #metta #lovingkindness #vegan #govegan
