Violence and suppression have never
ever resolved anything......


A more accurate statement is -

"Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion [that violence never settles anything] is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms."

Jean V. Debois

That doesn't mean that violence is generally a good thing but it does often resolve things and if you are non-violent, have enemies and have no one to protect you, you often simply die.
