Yea it seems odd that there's this push to not use the threat of violence to push back. I'm not the conspiracy type usually but I wouldn't be surprised if it was some sort of effort from certain groups to make sure we don't push back.
Part of it is neoliberal privilege, and part of it is corporate/private social media owners (including owners of Lemmy instances) being incentivized to censor anything too spicy for fear of advertiser pushback and/or FBI raids. The fact that in the Internet era all our common forums for expressing ourselves are increasingly privatized has a huge chilling effect on freedom of speech.
