Yeah, very robust self defense is 100% in my ethics. I’m not a pacifist.
On the fraud/defamation I kind of think we should develop ways to prevent harm socially. I consider trade/society a form of technology we’re constantly developing. It’s been taken over by government to enrich themselves and their rich buddies instead of serving as tech to improve life for everyone.
If we’re using the current US definition of threat I’m fine considering that aggression in most cases. Imminent threat. Ability to pull it off. A lot of things have negative impacts that I don’t consider aggression.
I’m fine being in danger. It’s kind of weird, but arguing against racism or for trans rights gets me much less push back than arguing for abolishing the death penalty or legalizing all drugs. There are huge pieces of shit out there that I wouldn’t give the benefit of the doubt to, but there are also a lot of people with little to no knowledge of some of this shit. Or people that have some silly, ignorant ideas and no experience to help show them they’re being a dumbass.
