I agree with you on context, but given my original context :
“Employment is almost always exploitation on one side or the other, with the best case being mutual exploitation.
Employment inherently involves paying less for your work than it is worth. In an ideal situation, in exchange you get access to tools at a cost less than they cost to access on your own.
It’s inherently violent on some level. Ending violence shouldn’t be traumatic.”
I invoke violence in the context of exploitation or coercion. It seems clear to me that “inherently violent on some level” clearly invokes an unconventional interpretation of “violence” implicitly aligned with the previous context.
I have to conclude that a misconception of what was meant by “violence” here is either pedantism, low reading comprehension, or intellectual belligerence for the sake of grandstanding on a point. I really am having a great deal of difficulty substantiating a more charitable interpretation.
Perhaps you are accidentally missing the OP in this case and are missing the entire contextual picture?
