That's also, more or less, exactly what I was thinking. For instance I don't eat foie gras because I find it inhumane, but I would never call myself an animal rights activist because of that.

I think in modern times we are, for some reason, attached to labels when in reality people's positions are, if they're thinking for themselves, going to be nuanced enough that there will be no appropriate label. Not wanting to participate in the development of autonomous killing machines, let alone ones that inevitably will be abused, is a perfectly reasonable position, but does not at all make one a pacifist in and of itself.

Totally valid criticism from both. I'm just trying to figure things out and I'm not attached to the pacifist label as an identity or anything like that. I know I think violence is for fools but sometimes it can't be avoided, like some of the examples given above.

Sorry for the lag btw, this page fell off my threads and I didn't realise there were replies.
