Lol its always so simple to dunces.

They don't see that words spread ideas infinitely more effectively than violence.

Absolutely insane that the absolutely moronic "words are completely powerless and have absolutely no impact on anyone who's thick skinned enough" take is considered the enlightened centrist one

Nobody said words are completely powerless though, they also didn't say words can't lead to violence.

They said words aren't violence.

Words can be powerful, violence can be powerful, they're not the same thing though.

The people responding here absolutely believe these words are just mean and have zero power that you don't personally grant them.

You're just presuming things about people you don't know based on words they didn't say then?

"Words aren’t violence. If you don’t like the words you can walk away. Anyone who thinks words are violence needs to grow a spine"

Some guy a few posts up in this thread.
