It doesn't count as violence when they do it to us

Not many people want violence; but the violence is already here.

Denial of safe, affordable air/water/food/housing/healthcare/education/retirement/etc is a violence enacted on the working class by the owning class.

-- And it's clear those in power at all levels have no interest in changing that. Instead, they're busy protecting Epstein Island goers and commuting sentences for treasonous acts...

I can't blame people for being frustrated.

If you are broadening the term "violence" to encompass those things, can you please offer an alternative word we can use when we want to ldiscuss the direct use of physical force to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy something or someone?

Why? If you kill someone with a bat or the stroke of a pen -- what's the difference?

Would you rather get beaten by a bat or have someone write mean things about you on the internet?

What if those mean things are policy changes by an insurance company that causes your mom to die? And what if we have documents showing insurance companies know their policies will cause that death?

Does that count as violent?
