CMV:Pacifism is stupid and does not work

Pacifism, nonviolence, whatever the ideology that says "violence is *ALWAYS* wrong" is called literally does not work. 

When bullied, kids are recommended not to fight back, instead to report the bully, brush it off, pretend you don't care etc. even though fighting back would almost guarantee the bully is going to pick another target and leave you alone. 
Some people have no moral compass. They don't care about respect, goodwill, honor, compassion or that something is bad, unacceptable, disgusting or pathetic. They see that you're not fighting back, label you an easy prey and continue to take what they want. 

Then there's rape, murder, home invasions, and other fucked stuff you can't reasonably apply pacifism to. I think that women *should* be recommended self-defense weapons, you *should* defend your home with firearms, and you *should* apply violence to people who continuously engage in destructive acts. And don't get me started on wars.

We have police to take care of bad actors but there seems to be a modern pacifist movement that calls for defunding their forces and instead using these resources to provide education, healthcare and poor region development which is supposed to eliminate most crime but again, I believe that *a lot* people are born with little moral qualities and the only thing that's stopping them from causing damage to their communities is fear of physical punishment so change my mind I guess ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

You seem to be a little confused here. You even accurately describe the point of pacifism, namely the idea that violence is always wrong in an ethical sense, and then completely ignore it for the rest of your post. The question of pacifism isn't whether or not being a pacifist will somehow prevent you from being harmed or produce some kind of material benefit for you. Any serious pacifist knows, or should know, that being a pacifist will not protect them from physical harms or difficulties. What they believe, however, is that being a pacifist is a moral obligation of sorts. If violence is always wrong in the ethical sense, then they cannot engage in it if their objective is to be ethically good individuals. Same way you would never tell a Christian that giving to charity is ineffective because it's not about efficiency. It's about their ethical standards and keeping to those.
