Hurtful words are violence. Burning someone's house down is peaceful.

Would be pretty disappointing if that is the case. I'm glad that was your angle and not the pathetic notion that it is ok to destroy stuff if it's the property of wealthy/ and or insured folk.

It would be if it was your car? Burn down the local precinct if you wanna make a statement. Not soft targets like somebody’s personal possession.
In the simple minds of the lefties 'Silence is violence, but riots are just peaceful defiance'
There's now very little to be gained trying to reason with them, as they resemble members of a cult.
Another serious issue is the far left terrorists are attracting pedophiles and criminals. Very dangerous.

You mean like those shot by peaceful CHAZ residents?

If those people are black or "lefties", it's no biggie apparently.
I'm not sure how that fits in with the "all lives matter" narrative though.......

I don't agree that hurtful words are violence, but I do think that they can certainly incite violence, and something being on fire isn't inherently violent.

Yes, I may have been a bit generous there.
The USA seems to have evolved into a 21st century version of its own wild west. Well, parts of it at least.

It sounds like you support vigilantism.
Will be cleared of any murder / shooting charges. Self Defence from the mob.
I can't speak for Eastern Tiger but I'd support vigilantism over rioting and armed militias, let's put it that way.

Is beating people for not declaring support vigilantism or just good old fashioned fascism?

What if the armed militia are the vigilantes?

Neither I would say. It's likely beating people for not declaring support.
Vigilantism - law enforcement undertaken without legal authority by a self-appointed group of people
Fascism - is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
When you read the timeline about Kenosha posted earlier.
Where there is one bloke running away from a mob and there are, "a shot at a fleeing man" followed by "up to 18 gunshots" fired from the mob and one member of the mob "drops a handgun" after being shot trying to execute a downed man".
It's pretty clear which group is the armed militia and which is the sole vigilante in this circumstances.

Thank goodness the sole vigilante wasn't part of an armed militia then, even as a wannabe, someone could have got seriously hurt or even killed.

I was just trying to help, as it seemed from your comment that you didn't understand what either term meant.

So what do you call it when the far-left employ fascistic tactics minus dictatorial nationalism?
