HA! no.
What&#x27;s being advocated by this &#x27;...NOT THINK... NOT MENTION...&#x27; is essentially racial pacifism. In theory, yes, we shouldn&#x27;t perpetrate violence or war upon each other. But if those who seek to eliminate violence rely solely on pacifism, it leaves those with no such intentions to perpetuate war uncontested. Should people ignore genocide because they idealize a non-violent future?<p>The thought promoted by the OP (of this idea) seems to imply that by setting an example behavior based on our ideals, others, with no such ideals, will somehow be compelled to adopt them. I just can&#x27;t imagine anyone actually thinks that&#x27;s true.<p>A German citizen in 1940 doesn&#x27;t want anyone to see murder in the world, so he sets an example by NOT THINKING and NOT MENTIONING murder. And millions of people get murdered by his fellow countrymen who don&#x27;t share the same ideals.<p>Pacifism has it&#x27;s place and is often respectable. But non-confrontational, silent pacifism is a holey personal journey and has little hope of having any influence outside oneself.
