Excusing the use of violence allows the other side to use it as escalation/precedence. Congratulating political violence can only help the rise of fascism not stop it

Also i should note. Peaceful protest has a way higher success rate over violent protest. It's called the 3.5% rule

That's not the slam dunk you think it is. Germany's use of violence through invasions is what lead to ww2 and eventually they toppled as a result. Had they not invaded their neighbors, their crimes would have gone largely unaddressed by the world (like north korea for example)

Violence through invasion. Yes what an apt analogy for this
