To say imprisonment is not a violent act takes some extreme mental gymnastics.

At the same time, Drag, these posts are inflammatory in nature. That's why you keep getting banned for trolling.

“drag” is just a troll

[email protected]’s mod team is far better than most. looks like this was amidst a whole host of other real misinformation from drag so i don’t really care there was a flub of language on this one.

Well that's troubling. Seems to me that "I'll shoot you if you leave this cage" is pretty darn violent.

Oxford

using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

Merriam-Webster

marked by the use of usually harmful or destructive physical force

Cambridge

using force to hurt or attack

used to describe a situation or event in which people are hurt or killed

Dictionary.com

acting with or characterized by uncontrolled, strong, rough force

Britannica

using or involving the use of physical force to cause harm or damage to someone or something

Collins

If someone is violent, or if they do something that is violent, they use physical force or weapons to hurt, injure, or kill other people.

And, probably most importantly: The Netherlands' legal definition of violence includes domestic violence, child abuse, and incitement to violence.

So, yeah, good job mods. Who would have ever expected drag to present misinformation 🙄🙄🙄 nobody could have seen this coming

Do you think people stay in prison by gentle persuasion? No. They're kept there by threat of violent force.

So you think literally all laws are violence? Not even laws... just any form of authority?

Damn, I knew lemmy was a fantasy land but y'all are way further gone than I ever even pretended to imagine.

Give an example of an authority that does not derive its power from the threat of violence.

Laws are simply the promise of violence by the dominant socio-economic class, you guys wanna make some bacon?
