Great comment.

We can't expect to enjoy the virtues of a good society without embodying those virtues ourselves. That doesn't mean we remain forever peaceful. Indeed, a truly good man does not tolerate evil in his presence. He destroys it. How can a good man be good, if he allows everything he loves to be destroyed? Lies can't be defeated with more lies. Evil can't be defeated with apathy.

Anyone telling you to remain peaceful while evil persists, is not your friend. They're either a great fool, a coward, or a liar, perhaps a mix of all.

Mainstream culture has convinced "good" men that violence is the tool of evil. Read your Bible. God has zero problems inflicting great violence upon his enemies. The violence of evil is a pale comparison to the wrath of the righteous.

We can absolutely have a virtuous society again, it only requires good men to act.
