One side (liberal) tends to frown on violence, especially as a means of communication. Self defense, fine, if we must. But the other side (‘conservatives’) absolutely revel in their violence and often turn words into awful deeds (see Portland and Seattle or the many many acts of violence and mayhem - Jan 6th 2021 anyone?)
Throwing curses and invective, fine. An egg isn’t a bottle or a brick, but shit escalates quickly as the saying goes. Not a fan of throwing anything myself. Wasn’t there a trend of european pols getting a milkshake thrown at em? mb tin pan full of whipped cream would be OK? Punches are over the line. But when the ‘ProudBoys’ corner you hell yes fight back. Fuck the fascists and racists. My kith and kin didn’t fly bomber missions over Nazi Germany for us to go down that dark path.
