David Megginson<p>I often think of how John McCrae couldn't have written what is likely the best-known Canadian poem, "In Flanders Fields" (1915), later in the war.</p><p>After the pointless, industrial-scale slaughter of the Somme (1916) and Passchendaele (1917), it's hard to imagine <em>any</em> soldier writing naïve, idealistic lines like these without gagging on them:</p><blockquote><p>Take up our quarrel with the foe:<br>To you from failing hands we throw<br>The torch; be yours to hold it high.</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WW1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WW1</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/nonViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonViolence</span></a></p>
Dallin<p>"Why should we love our enemies? The first reason is pretty obvious. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says 'Love your enemies' [Matt. 5:44], he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition. Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies – or else? The chain reaction of evil – hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars – must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation." – Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1977), 53.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/love" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>love</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peace</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/forgiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forgiveness</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/reconciliation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reconciliation</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/peacemaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peacemaker</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/hate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hate</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>war</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/darkness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>darkness</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>government</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>violence</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>christian</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>society</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanity</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/nonviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonviolence</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/warning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>warning</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"I had moved to the West Bank during the brief season—we could not have known how brief—in which it was possible to believe that even the cruelest regimes might be toppled by people filling the streets and squares and, without weapons or the need for violence, demanding a life of dignity. That moment had passed by the time I left, but the movement limped on, growing closer to death while other approaches gained momentum: spates of solitary stabbings and car rammings. In 2015, the year after Israel’s previous war on Gaza, rammings increased by a factor of six. Over the next seven years, settler assaults on Palestinians jumped ninefold. The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers began to rise dramatically in 2021, and in the years leading up to the October 7, 2023, attacks, armed groups of Palestinians started to reappear in the cities of the northern West Bank.</p><p>Elsewhere the months rolled by, but whenever I returned or checked in with friends, Palestine seemed stuck in a rut: years of passivity and despair followed by giddy weeks of chaos in which it felt like everything might change, until despair settled over everything again. The repetition was hard to bear. People I had come to care about gradually disappeared. Those who could left. Others died or went to prison or suffered some slow internal death invisible to those who didn’t know them. Their absences haunt this story, but they also add up to a different kind of absence: the missing voices of people who have devoted their lives, at great cost, to speaking out, and who now find themselves too afraid to speak."</p><p><a href="https://harpers.org/archive/2025/05/after-nonviolence-end-of-peaceful-resistance-west-bank-ben-ehrenreich/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">harpers.org/archive/2025/05/af</span><span class="invisible">ter-nonviolence-end-of-peaceful-resistance-west-bank-ben-ehrenreich/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WestBank</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Nonviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nonviolence</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PeacefulResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeacefulResistance</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Activism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a></p>

Magpieblog<p>This is one of the most useful and insightful pieces I've read in a long time. While focused on what's going on in Serbia right now, it's chock-full of lessons and strategies that can help opposition movements anywhere. And yes, I'm pointing at those of us here in the US.</p><p>(If you are really impatient, skip down to the '5 lessons on bringing down a dictator' section.)</p><p>1/</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resistance</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PoliticalStrategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalStrategy</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nonviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonviolence</span></a><br><a href="https://mas.to/tags/PoliticalStrategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalStrategy</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Serbia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Serbia</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarianism</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://wagingnonviolence.org/2025/03/bringing-down-a-dictator-serbia-what-can-anti-authoritarian-protests-learn-from-past-success/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wagingnonviolence.org/2025/03/</span><span class="invisible">bringing-down-a-dictator-serbia-what-can-anti-authoritarian-protests-learn-from-past-success/</span></a></p>
Strypey<p>If you haven't read a novel called The Fifth Sacred Thing, written by a peace activist called Starhawk, now would be a good time. I'm planning to get hold of a copy and read it again, along with the prequel and sequel novels, which I only recently learned about.</p><p>It's about how a nonviolent solarpunk community resists invasion by a brutal and expanding authoritarian empire. Due warning, unless you're made of stone, you will cry while reading.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/novels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>novels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/Starhawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Starhawk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/NVDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NVDA</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/NonViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonViolence</span></a></p>

Nonviolence has nothing to do with whether the opponent has a conscience - it operates on a theory of power that says that if you undercut the pillars of regime power, the regime falls. The documentary _Bringing Down a Dictator_ gives an example of how this was done to Milosevic in Serbia - he had no conscience and yet the movement to oust him won.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dNLt5mC1A" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=r7dNLt5mC1A</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Nonviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nonviolence</span></a></p>
