RE: Defense Is Not Violence

in #defence7 years ago

The perfect explanations as to Violence and Coercion. There are a ginormous number of people who're abused everyday in form of verbal, moral and monetary violence and people don't take action on these because they only consider physical abuse is a violence.
But violence has no fixed rules and shape, everything which violates the law is VIOLENCE. It's time people should know and act against it.
You portrayed it perfectly @jphenderson . A big thumbs up for you :)

Sort:  

There's nothing wrong with violence. It's amoral. Self-defense is violence, reciprocated against the person trying to do you harm.

Yes, it is. But I wrote about the immoral ways of violence and violence for selfish reasons @anarcho-andrei. There's always wrong with this violence.

Monetary and verbal sleights aren't violence though. Even according to this article, violence is force used to coerce. Words are not force. If you start categorizing words as equivalent to physical force, you open the door to using physical force in response to words.

Precision of expression is essential.

I agree in that anything that violates the Natural Law principle of free will is violence. Governmental laws violate this principle all the time however. If our legal laws were in harmony with natural law then we wouldn't have many of the problems we have today.
