discourse, description of violence 

@xj9 let's use a smaller scale example: if someone is going to murder someone and the only practical way to stop them is violent, would stopping them make you as bad as the attempted murderer? If you believe the answer is yes, I'm afraid you might be a lost cause

discourse 4: the crowdfunded one 

@xj9 here's a fun clue for you though: violence isn't just physical. Verbal harassment is violence, advocating genocide is violence and allowing atrocity to happen through inaction is violence. Know something bad is coming? Can do something about it? (something as simple as isolating and no-platforming these bozos?) and you don't do those things? You're using your position of power to inflict harm and that, by definition, is violence. Bye
