Using the word "violence" the way you are is clearly newspeak; it's inflammatory and unhelpful.

- JaimeThompson 3y agoI believe the 2nd definition fits this use case. From dict.org 2. Injury done to that which is entitled to respect, reverence, or observance; profanation; infringement; unjust force; outrage; assault. [1913 Webster]
- analognoise 3y agoUm it’s violence and privilege to use famous examples of “Western” literature to make your point and it doesn’t consider the diverse heritage of learners. Could you please cease doing violence and not think those thoughts? (/s This is sarcasm - the second line obviously references Doublethink. The example is meant to point out how ridiculous it is that thought is being shut down by accusing people with an expanded/changed definition of violence)
