Politics have consequences. When elected politicians vote to arms ongoing genocide, people die. When elected politicians vote to deny people healthcare, people die. Politics and its consequences is inherently violent.

I mean if you've been here long enough you've probably had to tell someone to delete something for fedposting but there is also a difference between wanting people to incite violence versus thinking decrying violent action universally is dumb, especially in the context of how it is used in cases such as Trump's piercing: where violence directed at the state is treated as political violence but violence that the state itself regularly commits is treated as non-existent and non-political.
