Thanks. I think this approach can be a powerful one. Namely the argument that it is your moral duty to look for a peaceful solution before you resort to violence. It has worked to get two friends to stop believing in corporal punishment. I usually ask how hard they tried to look for alternatives, have they read any books, listened to podcasts, asked peaceful parents etc. It always turns out that they could have tried harder. If they haven't done any research at all then their default position should never be that violence is necessary.

It seems that all of my followers are bots that follow everybody. I made this account about a year ago but then never used it until now.
