This is the rhetoric being wielded, and it's being wielded by people who do mean what they say. This is the nature of politics being discussed, it seems bizarre to stick your head in the sand and ignore that. The world will not magically become a better place if HN users suddenly decide to pretend that violence does not exist and does not play a significant role in politics.
This is simply what conversations involving armed conflict look like. On HN, we should hopefully still be able to discuss these things from a more intellectually curious point of view.
