If you want to clarify your thinking, you should consider these key questions: 1) Why is violence bad? What is it we're trying to prevent when we seek to prevent violence? 2) Are there instances of speech, which in specific contexts can, cause the same negative outcomes that we try to prevent when we seek to prevent violence? 3) Is it really true that physical violence is inescapable, while abusive speech only causes harm if the listener lets it? Let go of left/right talking points, shallow pattern-matching, and groupism, and deeply consider these questions.
