    Political violence is when you do violence to the political people and the more political the more violence it is. Other violence is never political, especially when it's done by political institutions. The more political the person doing the violence, the less political and violence it is.

      But also,

      Women/PoC/queer folks in media - political

      Violence and coercion against the same - not political

      Remember kids

      -Shooting at a politician: Bad, political violence, domestic terrorism

      -Unilaterally sending aid to a country that is aligned with yours so they can carry out a genocide: necessary evil, better than what your counterpart will do, shrewd

    oppose, in the strongest terms, real-world violence of any kind

    Quick, get on social media and spin this as "Amazon says ceasefire now!" and start tweeting at Amazon thanking them for condemning Israel's invasion of Gaza.

    This is our chance to get the Zionazis and the capitalists to eat each other.

    Violence is when you try to kill posh politicians. Violence is not when you put 1+ million people in slavery (i.e. prison)

    As opposed to this year's big budget blockbuster movie, where the president is mercilessly executed in the oval office while begging for his life?

      I think it was a warning to Trump that "this is what will happen if you try to stay in office for a third term"

      I like to think that the movie actually might prevent a civil war because of its impact on him. Fingers crossed.

    There's a lesson to be learned here. If you want to get the job done, don't go for anything less than the surprise grabby tumor tentacles.

    If you need any further proof that capitalism subsumes critiques into itself for profit and find themselves unconcerned by threats
