I think you lost the plot somewhere around “I refuse to be violent”
Do you want a world where only innocent people are hurt or a world where mean/evil people are hurt as well in response?
If you only want innocent people to be hurt, keep being non violent. It only helps the oppressor. When you resist, when you thrash and smash and burn and stab, you force them onto their backfoot.
Seriously, pacifism is an evil idealogy that a lot seem to subscribe to as if it is some noble ideal. When in reality it is a selfish one that requires you to stand by as the meek and innocent are trampled, as your friends, family and community are trampled. It is isolationism for the individual.

The question that always finishes the argument is “why do you believe your moral character is more important than other people’s lives?”
