i hate how vague the term violence is, as it can mean so much as to make it useless.

protesting is a form of violence, it is meant to hurt the status quo. if the protests blocks a road or impedes trade and therefore there's some economical violence in there too.

but there's also violence in an unfair system that creates those protests. people are protesting ICE kidnapping and disappearing people with support of the state. that is a much worse violence than that being used in the protest.

and the "violent" police response, was violent, because he literally shot a reporter.

because the term is so vague, anti violence as a moral stance is meaningless.
