The fact of the matter is that violence as a baseline option must exist for you to be able to pass any kind of nonviolent negotiation. If you aren't willing to get violent over what you believe to be the right thing to do, nobody has any reason whatsoever to compromise with you. If all you do is lay down and roll over when someone with more conviction than you deprives you of what you think should happen, you are not capable of negotiating.

I think the best quote I've seen on the subject was from Bleach. "The Third Company's flower is a kinsenka the marigold. It symbolizes despair. Its also the symbol of our confidence and pride. Fighting isn't heroic. Its not meant to be exhilarating. Violence should only bring despair. Its dark, and terrifying. It must remain gruesome. Otherwise people won't fear it...and try to avoid it."
~Izuru Kira, Bleach
Violence isn't a game. It is necessary, but, its also necessary for everyone to treat it with the gravity it deserves.

If I may pull from another classic, Samurai Champloo, "One should not carry a sword if one is not able and willing to use it."
This constitutes two separate disciplines when it comes to how one should approach violence: The capacity to bestow violence upon one's enemy and the wisdom of when to and when not to. One is a discipline of the body. The other is a discipline of the mind. You need both to develop a warrior mentality.

Robert Heinlein has a good quote for this: "Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived."
If you dont have power, if you dont have the capacity for violence, you can accomplish nothing. Youâll be treaded all over by the people who are willing to commit violence. And so if you want peace, if you want to be left alone, you have to demonstrate that you are not an easy target to attack.
Reading Vinland Saga, I was getting frustrated by Thorfinn's uncompromising pacifism. I would think of moments where it would have been better if he did use more non lethal violence to let them know to take him more seriously. But watching the second season with my memories of the manga, I was pleasantly surprised to know that it wasnât as black and white as I remembered. He uses violence as a last resort and doesnât outright refuse to do so. He needs to use that supreme authority to ensure people will listen and hold a dialogue to reach an ultimately peaceful resolution to conflict.
