You know, this sentiment might hold a little bit of value as a roundabout way of wanting to avoid outright conflict. And I can somewhat get behind that, or at the very least understand the desire for such a stance.
But it rings hollow when you look at and assess the mountains and mountains and mountains of violence that has occurred and has increased over the past decade or so, with the VAST majority of it coming from the left. What does JP think all the fucking riots have been if not violence? What does he believe compelled speech is if not a threat of violence?
It's an uncomfortable truth that people don't want to accept but if it's just to resist unjust laws, then all laws are ultimately a threat of violence, even minor fines.
Most people are fine with violence. They hate resistance.
