    I answered the questions. I said I will never advocate violence. No matter how many whataboutisms you have, there is no “gotcha!” here.

    I don’t, and will never, advocate violence. Let it go.

      You’re not really answering the question. If what you say is true, then that means you would not defend yourself or a loved one against violence? Simple yes, or no. Saying no simply confirms your stated stance.

        I’m not going to advocate for violence, no matter what you say or ask. Feel free to keep trying all you want, but I’m not going to change my mind or change my answer. :)

          So yes, or no? A no simply means that indeed, you do not “advocate for violence”. It’s just a clarification confirming that, no matter what possible scenario happens, you still won’t support the use of violence.

          Not clarifying that, while stating “no matter what you say or ask” is non-committal, as if you’re trying to give an answer that excludes the possibility of self defense but don’t want to admit it simply so that you appear pacifista absoluto.
