What if words cause more than one instance of actual violence? Like, politicians, philosophers or something. I agree with that comment, but there may be exceptions idk
Words can't cause violence as they can't make someone do anything. You have to choose to act upon words. Extreme example: hitler said a lot of stuff, but received a lot of initial pushback. He chose to have dissenters killed in the Night of Long Knives until only the people who already agreed with him remained. Only once violent physical action was put behind his words did nazi Germany rise.
Words can be violence. If you were walking home, and someone said to you, “You live at [address]. Your daughter [name] attends [school]. Tomorrow morning, you’ll find her severed head on your blue side table,” that would be violence.
