Thank you to @taylorlorenz for this really insightful video about what actual #PoliticalViolence is. As she puts it, we only see it when it impacts powerful and priviledged, often well-known people, not when it is wielded against #minorities, especially when they are poor and socially vulnerable! Nobody calls the mistreatment of racialized demonstrators or immigrants political violence. It's juste considered vaguely more or less unfair violence.

Like her, I'm sick and tired of hearing all well-known influencers and legacy media claiming that there is no place for #PoliticalViolence in #democracy , that we should all remain calm and polite at all time, including towards people like #CharlieKirk who advocated for the removal of #LGBTQI+ , #WomenRights , #CivilRights for #POC, etc., while ignoring this exact type of #violence exerted almost on a daily basis on all #minorities or even considering it legal and legitimate.

If you find it normal and even legitimate to cause heavy injuries to demonstrators or even kill them, simply because they are disturbing the daily routine of #capitalism and #neoliberalism or refusing to obey a police's order, or if you find it alright to mistreat or even kill so-called " #illegal " #immigrants , then, why are you shocked that people spewing #fascistic #ideologies or even participating in massive #PoliticalViolence can become the target of retaliation by mere lambda individuals?
