Conflict Resolution - When Would You Consider Violence as a Last Resort? - Don't Make Me Do This Man...

[Burner of the East]

Conflict Resolution.

Certainly there have been times where conflicts could've gone one way or the other. A scuffle with a good friend. An encounter in a dark alleyway. A casual misunderstanding at the office. Bringing someone to justice. Deciding between multiple moral dilemmas. Or worse, being responsible for the life and death of an individual.

What things are at stake in a conflict? Is it worth fighting for? Even at the cost of someone at the other side? Are you willing to settle for a middle ground? Or will you deal in absolutes?

How would you go with it? Shoot first ask later? Initiate a cordial conversation? Talk it out over drinks at a bar?​

When I can't think of a witty comeback.

When the legality of abortion is in jeopardy.

Always.

Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.

 

[MarkofdaBOOG]

My stance is I would only kill if my life was actually going to be in jeopardy. if its just some retarted bull shit I'm out Cops aren't going to care what "Justice" you are fighting for they will just ruin your life.

"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue-and thoroughly immoral-doctrine that, 'violence never settles anything' I would advise to conjure the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst."

Not first?

 

[AMHOLIO]

Inciting violence should only be done if it's needed tbh. If I think my friend is dumb I'm not punching them in the face unless they really, REALLY, need or deserve it. Basically violence in the modern era can be boiled down to "does the benefit outweigh the costs?"

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

The only real answer is "when I see there is more likely chance of me winning"

You should only ever resort to violence several months after the conflict is over, so they don't see it coming and you're not very high on the list of suspects.

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

There is no blanket answer it's all time, place, situation, surroundings, circumstances ect.
I am an adult male who can (if need be) induce some serious physical harm towards you if that's your end game but if you're just gonna stand there blabbing away like a hero about fuck all then be damned if I'm gonna be bothered with your shit. The end game is more double than it's worth over some smooth brain talking shit.
But hey make a motion and you'll wake up with a fucking crowd around ya.

Not gonna lie I have executed this plan before & it's quite amusing.

Violence shouldn't be "a last resort". Keep in mind, there are so many peices of trash that benifit from a non violent neutered society. People would be much more polite and courteous if getting punched in the face was on the table.

By fear and terror?
Well, can be work in that way.

Sometimes you need an assbeating to clear your head.

Ok, i can relate of that.
But abusing of that violence is that makes PSTD for many people.
Now, if about criminals, i don't give a shit. They're not humans in my eyes. Cut their arms off and let them bleed to death.

In game theory, there is a study of the evolution of trust in a society. There are those who never avoid a fight and never seem to be able to cooperate for long given their intuitions, there are also those that never fight even when it is fight or lose everything. There are those that cooperate if you do but never seem to forgive cheating, and those that equally cooperate if you do but forgive at the drop of a hat.

I never want trouble, I don't want the attention and notice of police. However that doesn't mean I will just let myself be killed.

I'll never start the physical fight no matter how heated the verbal altercation goes but I'll give as good as I get verbally until the other party fucks off or does the other thing and swings. I don't fight strangers for fun and I don't look for fights. I seem to be a freak that way, given some of the company I've found myself in. However I also find myself unable to forgive very quickly, I come to very fast judgments of people and I don't believe people change if they aren't absolutely disgusted with themselves.

I would like to live in a dueling culture, guns civilize people because casual violence isn't possible. They are like the nuclear weapons of international diplomacy that way. Either the savagery is worth it or it very clearly is not worth it. I don't think killing a person who wants to fight to the death is wrong personally. Maybe as wrong as not helping someone when you could have helped, but not worse morally than that.

 

[PipTheAlchemist]

If someone pisses me off even slightly or irritates me in any way, I should have the right to beat the shit out of them to death and to keep their head as a trophy while mailing the rest of their dead corpse to their parents

 

[Angry Alt Right Nerd]

Violence should never be an option, everything can be solved with social workers and diplomacy, unless the person you're talking to opposes abortion, in which case they are irredeemable nazis and you should punch them on sight.

Escalating every conflict to a violent brawl Ralphamale-style isn't what men do. It's what niggers do, because niggers are stupid and have nothing to lose.
