Both actions are equivalent, as such words are (social and/or political) capital bounties offered to the masses in return for fulfilling the death of said politician.
Capital always exists, even in the form of words. To deny a variant of capital whilst allowing another variant is inconsistent/doublespeak.
Just because it's not printed onto a piece of denominated paper, doesn't mean that such capital doesn't exist.

Neither the law nor common interpretation of words agrees with this. There is a significant and crucial difference between words and actions.
- x-complexity 25d ago> There is a significant and crucial difference between words and actions. The difference is artificial, and delusionally blinds itself to the base reality that social/political capital exists. Again, just because there isn't a cash figure attached to that bounty, doesn't mean that a reward hasn't been attached to it in the form of social/political prestige.
