"Speech is violence" doesn't exist as a principle in modern western societies. It's a slogan and call for a coordinated mass political attack against an identified target. It is applied by political partisans to attack their enemies and not applied to themselves or their allies. It's cynical, crass, mass political power put into action. Reluctant participants are dragged along under the implied threat that they will be targeted because "inaction is complicity" or some similar slogan.
