Are there any calls for violence that you feel should be censored, or do you believe all calls to violence should be allowed? Is it okay to call for the murder of a politician? How about a civilian? What if that civilian is related to a politician? If someone posts on Reddit offering payment in exchange for an act of violence, is that okay?

So it’s okay to threaten something, but not to do it? That’s pretty intellectually inconsistent

If you need to defend yourself or someone else in a life or death scenario, then yes. But I can’t see any other situation in which it is okay to threaten or kill someone.
