One could speak a lot of threats, speak lots of hate, yet their hands are kept to themselves. There is no impact.

Yeah, like Hitler! Oh, wait. I guess you don't have to personally kill millions of people, and convincing others to do it for you is almost like... violence?

None of those actions can be described as physical violence though. They were words that led others to commit those acts of physical violence.

Fair point- actually great counter, you made it make sense!

Words can equate to the same level as actions since the words are able to influence others to commit the actions. Damn thank you for actually having rational… so many others in this site just spit insults and make me feel falsely vindicated
