define: violence
"behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something."
It's clear that the meaning of "violence" is physical, not emotional.
> Someone accuses you of being a communist. Witch hunt ensues.
As I said: "It can facilitate violence, surely".
- Ygg2 11y agoListen, downvote all you like, but it seems you never were on the wrong end of verbal abuse. Trust me a well sharpened remark, can be waaaaay more painful than a gut punch. I never said witchhunt needed to end with violence. You can become black sheep, losing job, family, friends without a single follicles of your hair being torn. Your freedom could be taken, without you suffering any violence, e.g. house arrest.
