Big reason why American's definition of violence is so narrow and never includes or considers state/billionaire-sanctioned violence. Why the #NoKings movement has only ever communicated "non-violence" as a core tenet.
In this country, we believe in self-defense but only if the perpetrator is poor. State violence and economic violence are actions we must absorb quietly, lest we lose the support of the people who can actually enact change—professional-managerial class.
