There’s an absolutely ancient meme of someone selling a mirror or TV or something. Circa 2000 ish.
It’s not a hobby. It’s not subjective. Something is either good or bad, in total (some real number value on that axis, to be specific). The kind of thing you said is literally a cop-out of confronting that. The need to put some “ist”/“ism” label on it just avoids dealing with the question entirely. That’s not the definition of pacifism, what I said is the framework to situationally decide whether pacifism or something else is more ethical.
WTF is with the asinine left/right meter at the bottom of the article?
The mentality where you think people “deserve” things, I think it’s just irrational. If your goal in politics is to do best by all, then you’re working against your goal. If that’s not your goal, then it should be. Wishing harm on anyone is literally a last resort when there is no preferable option and where more good comes out of that harm than bad - otherwise it’s an ethical negative. It’s alarming to me how few people seem to have thought through that logic.
Not true, they also ran on supporting genocide and deporting immigrants.

It’s definitely unfortunate that there was such a backlash against this research in the 60s/70s.
Guy’s dead, no evidence either way, so asserting that’s wrong is about as baseless as asserting it’s right. Things like that are far from unheard of.
Americans are ruled by a politics of opposition. Anything Trump does, the opposite must be good. Anything Biden does, the opposite must be good. Nobody thinks about anything from scratch.

It’s my primary but Google unfortunately is often a fallback. And Google is tracking the shit out of us these days. Certain obscure searches don’t work well on DDG, sad to say.
