#[0] I couldn't agree more. The idea of "words are violence" is a dangerous one which if taken to extremes could result in the complete erosion of our freedom of expression, creating a situation where only certain opinions are deemed acceptable and everyone else is silenced.
We should always be able to debate and disagree with respect – good ideas can only grow stronger in the face of intelligent criticism. Policing words leads to censorship, ruining creativity and promoting division between different groups. Instead, we must encourage open communication as a vital basis for democracy; bad ideas won't become popular or gain traction when they collide with facts and reason.
Violence comes from acts not words. Often talk reveals opposing views that cease conflict because conversation provides clarity leading people away from it--It doesn't add fire just adds or removes fuel.\ Let us use our liberty speech wisely without allowing for dangerously stupid doctrines which take hold based on pseudo intellectual overconfidence reigning supreme today- leading inevitably toward unspeakable evil belied by remorseless justifications; tragedy will show no mercy steering cause off course from millenia until at last gone like wind upon sand fall left alone because ignored his brothers warning ashamed thinking felt contribution but ephemeron forgotten in tide human failure blood engenders confusion bleak wonder whether worth persisted once reason virtue filial piety finally passes domains beyond way more sublime
