That’s not violence. The word “violence” doesn’t mean anything you don’t like.

I don’t understand why some people want to call everything violence. Watering down the meaning of a word doesn’t help anything.


Killing you slowly is very much violence.


That is also not violence.

I think you should look up the dictionary definition of violence, because none of your usages of the word match the definition.


Violence is defined by the World Health Organization in the WRVH as “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation”.

Which definition are you using?


TIL that the air I breath is committing violence against me.


If it's being poisoned, the people poisoning it sure are.


Jobs, progress, cheap tokens, growth


And yet we don't let people dump lead in the drinking water any more.


Replacing good jobs with subscriptions that funnel money to the oligarchs


Yeah, only think about your job that’s gonna go away anyways. Zero global perspective or long-term thinking.


The future is inevitable, says people working tirelessly to make a specific future happen.


It’s better than your suggested future where Asia shoots off into orbit because we give up the race so you can have your dev job for a few more months.


What’s the difference, either fantasy scenario - yours or your straw-man of mine - ends with no jobs and us fighting over the scraps the oligarch class toss us.


You two are close to having a class solidarity moment

My guess though is one of you is a more temporarily embarrassed millionaire than the other so it won’t happen
