Because it implies that the metaphorical 'violence' against people you consider 'up' is morally justified, which it is not. It is merely ideologically justified

Because it implies that the metaphorical 'violence' against people you consider 'up' is morally justified, which it is not. It is merely ideologically justified, in some limited circles.
- anigbrowl 3y agoOh, you're not allowed to express abstract opposition to people in positions of power now? Nonsense. American political language is awash in fighting metaphors. One of Thiel's more famous investment, Anduril, is named after a fictional sword; if he gets to invoke the idea of weapons then you have no standing to complain about other people's rhetorical selections. If you are looking for something to get upset about, try looking at people who send non-metaphorical threats of violence to librarians, schools, and the like on the regular.
