>Racism is violence
In your opinion, is it OK for a private citizen (i.e., not the police) to use violence to stop someone from saying racist things?
I ask because usually it is OK for a private citizen to use violence to stop violence.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y ago> usually it is OK for a private citizen to use violence to stop violence Usually, it is okay for a private citizen to use physical violence to stop physical violence. It is (presumably) internally consistent for someone to answer your question negatively while still believing that racism is violence.
- UncleMeat 1y agoWhy does the police not count? Leveraging the state against people is violence.
- hollerith 1y agoMy questions were about when (in what circumstances) violence is OK (morally acceptable) not about the definition of violence.
