I mean all things - the severity of the words, the influence of the person, etc. We agree that words are sometimes crossing the line to where a violent reaction is morally justified (if not necessarily recommended or practical, ESPECIALLY in societies with a functioning government), we just disagree on where that line is drawn.
np, I get why people get heated over this, because I’ve certainly known my fair share of “Just asking questions” covert Nazis, but you always came off as simply genuinely convinced of a peaceful approach to things. In such matters, between two reasonably moral people, disagreement should be civil, even if the disagreement is severe.

Looking back on the discussion, it seems to me that you’re right about that.
Consider me persuaded: The use of violence against nonviolent speech may be acceptable depending on the circumstances involved.
I appreciate that you maintained civility throughout this conversation, by the way.
