Both of those things were addressed - in tfa, by OP, and by me. Both are perfectly valid uses of the word violent. Stunned that people are defending this tbh.

Stunned that people are defending this tbh. American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug.
- kortilla 3y agoIt’s not exceptionalism, it’s perspective. Anyone who has been exposed to actual economic violence (severe embargoes, depression collapses, hyper inflation, etc) sees writing like this and discredits the author for being an out of touch desk warrior. >Stunned that people are defending this tbh. It’s frankly shocking that you think deriding the author for calling food programs “economic violence” is defending this scenario. Take a step back and realize that multiple things can be wrong at once.
