i don't really care about that stuff, because if i hate someone that bad i don't dig up dirt i just blot them out of my life and avoid everything about them that i can, i might even migrate if this person cannot be avoided

but yes, two things:

you can't stop people from gathering workable evidence

you can't stop this evidence being generated unless you don't generate it

as one should, no reason to give any energy to things that we don't like.

as Taylor says, one day dancing around in the refrigerator light, some day drunk under a streetlight,

and maybe finally one day back in someone's front porch light

there was also a thread of pacifism in your recent notes too, this has some relevance

is it pacifist to get out of the way of a violent entity or group, and refuse to join the war that they are starting?

i think there is two ways of interpreting the concept of pacifism - one is bending over, the other is gtfo

i'm a pacifist but i am a gtfo pacifist

once the violence inevitably abates i'm still there and the participants are more damaged than me

that's an interesting reframing of that meme about the peasants with pitchforks vs swords.

gtfo pacifism

yeah, i say, keep the sword and avoid conflict

it's an omnipresent meme among self defense practitioners too

violence is to be avoided at all costs except life itself
