Port:
- Non-violent social movements count on the fact that institutions like governments are powerless without the cooperation of their people.
- The people can simply stop cooperating.
- But, I feel WOEFULLY RESTRICTED by the principles behind non-violence.
- Therefore, I will non-violently stop cooperating with non-violence.
Starboard:
- Isn't it contradictory to cooperate with non-violence in order to stop cooperating with it?
Port:
- Exactly. Restricted.

Nice. I bet you understand your understanding of it . Which is probably the way I meant it.

Thanks for letting me know. 🙂

Sixty years and one day ago Mohandas K. Gandhi passed away. He showed the world the power of non-violence and non-cooperation.

While non-violence may be humorously impotent against non-violence and a robot uprising, it still remains a powerful force on other issues.

It could even cause problems for a robot uprising if the robots aren’t completely self-sufficient.
