Naive pacifism is. I’m a pacifist too, but it doesn’t take much reading to understand the reasoning behind “If you want peace, prepare for war” and acknowledge that, regrettably, violence sometimes is the only option not amounting to reckless neglect.
Better to compromise and achieve something than to smugly die an idealist and achieve nothing.

Right, because compromise has worked so well this far.
You got me wrong: Better to compromise on pacifism than steadfastly refuse to defend ourselves
