I don't feel safe around people who aren't capable of violence

Disclaimer

Main

When people tell me they're 100% non-violent, part of me seems to intrinsically think they're not a safe person to hang out with.
Like, one aspect might that we will find it harder to relate to each other. They will consider things about me morally wrong that I just consider obvious normal parts of my personality, that I don't even find anything wrong with. Vice versa I will find their moralising grating because it is all hot air backed by nothing. Words are just words unless they're backed by something. Some actions atleast should back the words.
I think there is like, average normie who just says "non-violence good" like an idiot, who doesn't understand that if all their friends were nazis, they'd be a nazi too or atleast silent about it. And then there are more principled non-violent people. Former is the worst. The latter I have some respect for.
Even with the latter, I do still feel like, this is incomplete. I need someone else on my team too. I can't just have the "100% principled non-violent guy" on my team, no matter how many valuable insights he has or how principled he is.
Among more violent people, atleast I feel somewhat seen. There is still totally an issue of trust, just because someone is capable of violence doesn't mean they will be violent for you not against you. But this is often a solveable problem, you can talk it out, you can observe them over a time period and so on. People who are pathologically non-violent are a much harder problem to solve for.

Side note

Lol I sometimes wish I had suffered even more in my childhood, so that I was capable of even more violence than I actually am.
