U nedjelju, poglavar Rimokatoličke crkve predložio je zabranu sveg oružja kako bi svijet mogao živjeti u miru bez “straha od rata”.
Papa Franjo je objavio tweet: “Želimo li zaista mir? Onda zabranimo svo oružje kako ne bismo trebali živjeti u strahu.”
Do we really want peace? Then let’s ban all weapons so we don’t have to live in fear of war.
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) April 29, 2018
Franijn tweet dočekan je grubim kritikama i ismijavanjem na društvenim medijima, kao što su mnogi istaknuli brojne probleme s pretjerano općom i idealističkom tvrdnjom. Kako točno uvjeriti sve nacije, uključujući one koje su odane nasilju, poput Irana, da se razoružaju? Da li bi ta zabrana “sveg oružja” uključivala i ne-vojno oružje? Što se sve kvalificira kao oružje? Noževi, koji su u Londonu u procesu zabrane nakon što je stopa ubojstva premašila New YorkjCity bez obzira na već prijašnju zabranu vatrenog oružja? Na razini sukoba između nacija, puno današnjih ratova se vodi ne konvencionalnim oružjem, već putem ekonomskih i kibernetskih sredstava. Evo samo nekoliko od tisuća odgovora na Papin tweet:
Disarmament is not peace. There will always be a means with which to fight your enemies when you feel powerless- if not with arms, then with sticks or rocks, or whatever. Peace is when we choose to live in harmony because we can. Because we have the power to. https://t.co/0JIDvO8D0V
