      I am always extremely pedantic.

      Violence is not a complaint or in any way a form of legitimate dialogue.

        that’s just your opinion

        also let’s just be clear here, it is not “violence” (in the sense that you seem to be using it) to protect yourself against violence instigated by others

          If ICE force their way onto your property, that’s their violence.

          If you force your way onto federal property, that’s your violence.

              Federal property is collectively everybody in the country’s property and if everyone in the country agreed to shut these facilities down then we would not be having this conversation.

          I suppose if you ignore every logical step then you can claim its definition is whatever you want.

          We should come up with a word for this. How about an Ig-No Rant? You’re being Ig-no rant.

          You’re arguing against your own position. Or ARE you trying to say that the violent revolution was also a “protest”??

          The French started by uniting the people and bankrupting the state, so I reccomend you start there as well, because if you go into a war with a minority of the public to support you then you’re going to wind up less like the French and more like the Spaniards.
