the assumption that political violence must mean dead or maimed people says something about the people saying.

back in 2017, the mexican threw a couple bricks and broke a couple windows like americans used to do during the civil rights era and they ended up getting president Shienbaum because of it -- meanwhile our aversion gave us trump.

    Absolutely, some of the most effective violence has been entirely aimed at property. In most cases causing collateral damage hurts the goal of political violence more than it helps. Because the main way it's effective is with public support. Start hitting stray civilians and you can forget public sympathy.
