You should read up on Turn-About Ranch, where he sent teens. There was direct violence, they're facing multiple allegations of sexual, physical and mental abuse by former attendees.
It's just such a myopically ignorant thing to say. According to mental health professionals the effects of verbal abuse can cause a slew of issues both mental and physical, and we know bullying can lead to suicides, swatting people is literally using your words to invoke violence. Three ways words can be violent just off the top of my head. Words can absolutely cause violence, what a shitty take.
Do you need me to post the definition of argument and denunciation too? I mean it's right there. In the definition I posted. Maybe you personally believe words can't be violent, but that doesn't change that they can be.
You're being disingenuous. Violence doesn't have to be a physical threat to be considered violent. If colors, coughing, and arguments can be described as violent, hate mail most certainly can. Especially if it's threatening someones life or livelihood.
US Department Of Justice:
"The "crime" in hate crime is often a violent crime, such as assault, murder, arson, vandalism, or threats to commit such crimes. It may also cover conspiring or asking another person to commit such crimes, even if the crime was never carried out."
Nah there's definitely more variety to country music than that, but you have to dig for it (try Woody Guthrie for instance). Much like pop music, you have to go past whats popular to find the good stuff
yes thank you, I'm so sick of hearing "rap is crap" from people who've only heard a few gangsta rap songs on the radio in the 1990s and assumed that was it. That was all rap had to offer
It's more that no matter how much science you throw at them, both TERFS and flat earthers will do their hardest to ignore it, screaming "la la la" with their fingers in their ears til the world ends. And both groups are great examples of feelings being more important than facts
non-tech, older millennial, and going back for nursing. I've been on the internet since the 90s and I love computers (and tech in general) but I'm not very tech-inclined
