    Unless it is against the people, minorities, poor countries, or whistleblowers.

        Heck, in the US I’d almost say all politics is political violence. It seems that anytime you advocate for nonviolence here you’re called naive at best, murdered at worst. Plus, our whole society was built in blood.

        No, no, no, it only counts as violence when it’s punching up! Bombing children and beating the people who say you shouldn’t do that is a totally different thing!

        *As long as it’s Donald Trump inciting aforementioned violence
