"Rephrasing violence as speech" has approximately the meaning of "pretending violence is actually speech"; "characterizing speech as violence" has the meaning of "pretending speech is violence", ie, the exact opposite.
These two claims don't contradict eachother.
- skoopie 4y agoI'm looking for examples where the far right redefines/rephrases/characterizes/pretends violence is speech. That's all I asked for.
- jamesnadeau 4y agoI'm late to the party, but dox'ing someone is violence against them. When anyone dox'es someone with the intent that they are harmed, that's inciting violence. Doxing a [insert minority group leader] is an example of "the right" using violence against someone and pretending it's free speech. I think more people need to hear this. The right is not alone in this issue, but they certainly have more criminal convictions resulting from violence than I can remember "the left" having.
