This is the most annoying/frustrating thing about liberals. They think that just repeating a “definition” is the end all be all of the conversation. Call it whatever the fuck you want in any language you want. Placing someone under arrest, handcuffing them, holding them at gunpoint, putting them in a small room for a specific amount of time regardless of any legitimate or illegitimate reasons for doing so is violent.

First day as dictator I would enact the Hitchens Decree ™️ where everyone is polled with a simple yes/no “Is being arrested an inherently violent act?” all the yeses are “pardoned” and all the noes go on a list where any time in the next month they’ll be arrested by police in the most nonviolent way possible, given a night in jail, then re-polled right before release.

Folks. It’s called “re-education”, ok? And we’re gonna do it. We gotta do it. These people, I wouldn’t even call them people really, but these people… they’re sick, folks. Let me tell you. Sick like you wouldn’t believe. We have to help them. We have to, believe me. Believe me. We will help them.
