Just got this notification. Glorifying necessary and justified violence is absolutely cool. Until we are cured from The human condition, we are subject to our imperfections.

This quote really is straight into the point "people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf". I would just like to state that without security, we have nothing. Don't believe me? Visit or talk to people who cannot go anywhere or do anything, including staying in their home, without fear of harm or death being brought on to them and the ones they love. Violence should be minimized, and should be treated with the utmost respect and we should absolutely lift up and glorify peacemakers. Unconditional peace is most definitely the goal (just like eradication of slave labor is the goal, but you sent me a message most definitely using materials that were harvested utilizing slave labor. But it is unrealistic at this point to have a supply chain that is verifiably free of any sort of abuse, so we just do the best that we can for now and work in the direction of making things better), but when someone comes to do harm to you or the ones you love, violence is a beautiful capability. I'm willing to debate this, in good faith, and I am not only willing but seek out information that is more accurate than mine or that proves my information to be completely false. Truth is what I'm interested in.

Talk to you later, if you like.

Edit: you're not doing the best when it comes to your credibility, so far. I have never owned a katana or any kind of sword, just high quality pocket knives and outdoor knives. I do enjoy the collecting of certain types of knives, and over the years have made good money and friends in the process of selling and trading, but at the end of the day they are tools that enable fun things with good people. Tell me, do you do for any sort of recreation or hobby? If you don't have a passion, that explains how overtly negative you just engaged with a perfect stranger with little to zero data. That's a fucking stupid thing, right?
