...I'm talking about initiating physical violence or threat of violence, and I'd like to hear someone make an argument defending doing that...
I lived in several US states allowing me to use violence to protect my property. You [nonviolently] come on my property, I shoot you in the face.
What's wrong with that?
That's why I very specifically wrote "INITIATING" physical violence. Self defense and defense of one's property is not initiation. Can you fucking read or do I have to ignore you again?
By being a sexist bigot you are initiating violence. Stop triggering me brah. Clearly I wouldn't shoot you in the face unless you incited & richly deserved it.
In order to incite you, I would have to have the ability to control your actions with words. Do you lack self control to the degree that I can do that?
You clearly are controlling my actions with words--you call me nigger bitch, I shoot you in the face. What's so hard to understand here?
you also missed this:
No. "Violence" is not binary, it's very creepy and analog-gradienty. Theft is violence. Farting through silk and not sharing while others starve is violence. Private property is violence. Violence begets violence.
