minus-squareTarte@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·edit-21 year ago Violence, by definition, is an unjustified use of force. If a use of force is justified then it isn’t violence. You're right, but just to be clear: That is an English differentiation that doesn't exist in many other languages.
