This is a stupidly myopic post and no one should be taken seriously they use "jUsT fOr DiSsAgReEiNg WiTh YoU" rhetoric without applying context as if it ever a simple disagreement about what could be anything. What's next? "If punching a Nazi is okay, how long will it be until all violence is okay for any reason? sLiPpErY sLoPe!!"
I disagree entirely.
Going "I agree that it's wrong to attack people who disagree with you.... unless they disagree with you!" is just nonsense.
If the premise goes "Well this isn't a "simple" disagreement therefore it's okay to be violent!" is a complete lapse of logic and I think that you know this. WTF does "Simple" mean?
Never respond to someone who disagrees with you with physical violence. That way lunacy lies. Again 3 year olds are taught this.

Right? No one is condoning violence on the sole basis of disagreement. People are condoning violence because someone believes that genocide should be carried out.
"No one is condoning violence SOLEY on disagreement, they just condone violence because someone disagreed with them." is literally doublethink.
Which is doubleplus bad.
I'm reminded of something Penn once said about why he and Teller were such a successful double act. It's because they thought their shows together were better than there shows alone, so when they pissed each other off, they just shrugged it off.
His comparison was saying imagine you were a 7-11 clerk when the surplee machine breaks down and someone comes in to fix it, then says something dumb while fixing the machine.
So what? He's the dude who fixes the surplee machine? Who cares.
You're literally advocating that if you think the wrong opinion, you deserve to be physically attacked. That's lunacy
This post is dumb as fuck.
How?
You haven't made an argument. You've just said it's okay to attack people you disagree with and then insult people who talk to you.
