CMV: I’d be pacifist even in a global conflict.
With things as they are at the moment, I’ve been finding my strict attitude to resisting war challenged. I’m a Brit who was brought up by my father in a strictly pacifist way - the only things I could do to be disowned would be joining the military and the police force.
The argument that has always held strongest for me was ’the young person on the other side is just like you. They’re having a gun put in their hands and ideologies shoved down their necks, then taken to the frontline’. That the only way to break the use of working classes as cannon fodder is to refuse no matter the consequences. That killing another human in a conflict you didn’t start, and didn’t design, at the behest of another is nonsensical and wrong, and direct action is the only way to stop it.
This is obviously coming from a very specific post war set of views of politics and class. I had a conversation with my step sister last week, talking about the powderkeg of a geopolitical situation in Europe atm, where she was shocked that I would refuse the draft. And that shocked me in turn: when the possibility seemed remote it was easy to take my position for granted, but now there’s a serious chance it would be te
At this point, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s what people are responding to That’s what changes the context. Let’s see what happens next. At least from my perspective.

Honestly, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here That’s the key detail here. This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.
Stepping back, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s where people will push back We’ll see how people react over time.
Looking at this, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s what people are responding to That’s what makes this interesting. That’s just how it reads to me. Others will probably see it differently.
Reaction: lock in chat
Without overthinking it, the timing matters more than people admit Others will probably see it differently.
On the surface, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven Let’s see what happens next. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s where people will push back That part stands out.
the follow-through is what will decide this and that friction is hard to ignore
Reaction: Take it off us, It burns us!!!
If you zoom out, the timing matters more than people admit That part stands out. Time will tell.
Reaction: Its so lame which is why I dont watch him no more because to lose by something out of your control is so lame. Imagine if shows like Ninja Warrior were the only way to win was by the audienc
On the surface, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what changes the context. Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s just my read on it.

Real talk, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s what makes this interesting. This probably isn’t the last word on it.
Putting bias aside, the direction makes sense but the details are messy That’s what changes the context. At least from my perspective.
If we’re being honest, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which turns this into more of a debate Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
Reaction: Just always
If we’re being honest, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone At least from my perspective.
Looking at this, the signal is clear, the strategy less so Feels like there’s more coming here.
From where I sit, this comes across more reactive than planned which turns this into more of a debate That’s what changes the context.

Just reading this, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage This probably isn’t the last word on it. Others will probably see it differently.
On the surface, the timing matters more than people admit Curious how this plays out.
Just reading this, this feels rushed rather than thought through That’s just how it reads to me.
At this point, this depends heavily on what happens next which is why this is getting picked apart
If we’re being honest, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s where it gets complicated Curious how this plays out.

Trying to be fair, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which is why this is getting picked apart This could age very differently in a week. Others will probably see it differently.
Real talk, this depends heavily on what happens next That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
the timing matters more than people admit so the response doesn’t surprise me
the signal is clear, the strategy less so That’s what makes this interesting.
Putting bias aside, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s the part people are stuck on We’ll see how people react over time.
At first glance, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s where people will push back That part stands out. This could age very differently in a week.
Bluntly speaking, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s what people are responding to Let’s see what happens next.
Honestly, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That part stands out. Time will tell. That’s just my read on it.

Reaction: Too real..
Stepping back, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s where people will push back Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Reaction: A day in the life of an ambitious procrastinator
this feels rushed rather than thought through
From a practical angle, this solves one problem while creating another which turns this into more of a debate That’s what changes the context.
Not gonna lie, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s why opinions are all over the place Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s the impression it gives me.
