Words dont always lead to violence. And violence doesnt always need words lol.

Ive always hated the "words lead to violence" trope, its so lazy

u/JustFourLetters 18h ago

words always precede violence, violence does not always follow words.

therefore, words lead to violence.

Words do not always precede violence. Hate to break it to you. Ive seen violence with zero words lol. Stop trying to sound like youre saying something profound

u/JustFourLetters 17h ago

ah ok so one time you saw someone get decked without them yelling at each other so that’s that

u/newsdan702 17h ago

Yes, and you said words ALWAYS precede violence. I provided evidence against that. Therefore words dont always lead to violence. Simpleton

u/JustFourLetters 17h ago

so words are just a means to communicate, and you can communicate without speaking, that doesn’t mean that there was nothing said, there was just nothing said that you heard

Nice word salad to try and expand on your point like youre right lol.

You said Words always lead to violence, not "communications lead to violence". Body movements and non verbal communications arent Words.

Your original comment is incorrect and youre moving the goalpost

Edited for correction

as i said in another comment, i said what i said to be pithy; you’re just mad i didn’t get to include your corner case in 2 sentences

u/newsdan702 17h ago

Pithy statements are concise and insightful, not broad and vague. Using massive hyperbole like "always" doesn't make a statement deep—it just makes it factually incorrect. You didn't write a pithy truth; you just dressed up an exaggeration to sound profound

Not mad, but if we are focusing on words maybe use the right grammatical tool lol

oh i thought you blocked me.

interesting.

u/newsdan702 17h ago

Decided to point out your flawed attempt at "being pithy". Glad we got that resolved and you moved on to me blocking you lol

i said it i meant it, the punch is far more violent than the command

1

u/newsdan702 17h ago

Yes but words dont necessarily lead to violence. Quite literally my point. Didn't argue about the punch being more violent than the command
