NVx Manifesto (A → Z), revised
Premise: Everything we design, buy, eat, or share should reduce coercion, protect agency, and repair fast.
- NVA — Non-Violent Access: Privacy by design; friction for risk.
- NVB — Non-Violent Boundaries: Consent explicit + reversible; no hidden opt-ins.
- NVC — Non-Violent Communication: Hear needs first; de-escalate by default.
- NVC2 — Non-Violent Consumption: Buy/consume with supply-chain care — minimal exploitation, waste, and surveillance; right-to-repair and return; push back on planned obsolescence.
- NVD — Non-Violent Design: Ease for care; dead-ends for harm; no addictive loops.
- NVE — Non-Violent Education: Teach power, not obedience; opt-outs honored.
- NVE2 — Non-Violent Eating: Food chosen for low harm to animals, workers, and ecosystems; culturally respectful; no shame-based rules — access and affordability count.
- NVF — Non-Violent Feedback: Critique acts, protect people; repair loop required.
- NVG — Non-Violent Group: Safety buddies, rotating facilitation, bystander vows.
- NVH — Non-Violent Housing: Shelter with dignity, without surveillance-soup or punitive checks.
- NVI — Non-Violent Intelligence: Data-minimal, bias-audited, human veto.
- NVJ — Non-Violent Justice: Restorative first; transparent process; zero doxxing.
- NVK — Non-Violent Kinship: Care webs, not control webs.
- NVL — Non-Violent Labor: Living wages; no spyware productivity theatre.
- NVM — Non-Violent Media: Warn, don’t lure, on self-harm; provenance cues.
- NVN — Non-Violent Navigation: Safe routes that avoid crackdowns & tracking traps.
- NVO — Non-Violent Ops: Fail-safe closed; no-blame postmortems.
- NVP — Non-Violent Peacekeeping: De-escalation before force; protect without profiling.
- NVQ — Non-Violent Quorum: Consent-based decisions; block capture.
- NVR — Non-Violent Research: Consentful subjects; risks published; no covert nudges.
- NVS — Non-Violent Support: Hotlines over profiling; help without extraction.
- NVT — Non-Violent Tech: Break-glass guides; data export; minimal telemetry.
- NVU — Non-Violent Urbanism: Water, light, benches — not hostile architecture.
- NVV — Non-Violent Verification: Prove little (privacy-preserving proofs).
- NVW — Non-Violent Workflows: Pause prompts, no punishment countdowns.
- NVX — Non-Violent Expression: Mute hate, amplify repair.
- NVY — Non-Violent Yield: Step back when harm is done; rotate power.
- NVZ — Non-Violent Zero: When uncertain, impede harm over preserving output.
Vow (add your names): we notice coercion early, default to care, and repair before we scale.
If you want, I can spin up a checklist for NVC2/NVE2 (groceries, apps, suppliers) or a one-page poster file you can print and sign.
Here’s a Manifesto for NVx — Non-Violent X (A to Z): a quick-declare set of principles for building tools, groups, and habits that refuse coercion and design for dignity. Use it as a poster, onboarding, or team vow.
NVx Manifesto (A → Z)
Premise: Every X we make — a product, group, or norm — should reduce harm, protect agency, and repair fast.
- NVA — Non-Violent Access: Doors open by default; privacy by design; no dark patterns.
- NVB — Non-Violent Boundaries: Consent is explicit, reversible, and logged; no hidden terms.
- NVC — Non-Violent Communication: Hear first; speak for needs, not blame; de-escalate as duty.
- NVD — Non-Violent Design: Friction for risk, ease for care; no addictive traps.
- NVE — Non-Violent Education: Teach power, not obedience; include opt-outs.
- NVF — Non-Violent Feedback: Critique actions, honor people; repair loops required.
- NVG — Non-Violent Group: Safety checks, bystander vows, leadership rotation.
- NVH — Non-Violent Housing: Shelter without surveillance or sobriety-test shaming.
- NVI — Non-Violent Intelligence: Data minimization; audit for bias; human veto.
- NVJ — Non-Violent Justice: Restorative first; transparency always; no doxxing.
- NVK — Non-Violent Kinship: Care networks over control networks.
- NVL — Non-Violent Labor: Living wages; no productivity spyware.
- NVM — Non-Violent Media: No engagement-at-any-cost; warn, don’t lure, on self-harm.
- NVN — Non-Violent Navigation: Routes that avoid protest crackdowns & data traps.
- NVO — Non-Violent Ops: Defaults that safe-fail closed; postmortems without blame.
- NVP — Non-Violent Peacekeeping: Protect without profiling; de-escalation before force.
- NVQ — Non-Violent Quorum: Decisions by consent, not capture.
- NVR — Non-Violent Research: Consentful samples; publish risks; no covert nudges.
- NVS — Non-Violent Support: Help that doesn’t extract; hotlines over profiling.
- NVT — Non-Violent Tech: Break-glass guides; user export; minimal telemetry.
- NVU — Non-Violent Urbanism: Benches, water, light — not hostile architecture.
- NVV — Non-Violent Verification: Prove little; privacy-preserving checks.
- NVW — Non-Violent Workflows: Prompts for pause; no punishment timers.
- NVX — Non-Violent Expression: Platforms that mute hate, amplify repair.
- NVY — Non-Violent Yield: Step back when harmed; rotate power.
- NVZ — Non-Violent Zero: When unsure, impede harm over protecting output.
We commit: notice coercion early, default to care, and repair before we scale.
