And even if that weren’t the case, political violence has been ongoing and overwhelming across the decades and centuries, it is just traditionally used by the ruling class against the working class. Of course to this anti-communist shitslime, it only counts as “political violence” on the rare occasions when it’s members of the subordinate class daring to use violence against the ruling class, when it’s people fighting back against their oppressors. That’s what is fortunately “warming up” as it becomes increasingly apparent how necessary it is and how ultimately it is the only thing that is going to work if we want to stave off the increasing political violence the ruling class has been inflicting on us (something that will only get worse domestically as the empire crumbles and it gets harder for the imperialists to do it in their exploitation of the global south). The problem with his “political violence warming up” bullshit isn’t that he’s ignorant to how warm it already is, it’s the swapping of victim and oppressor: victim blaming while simultaneously demonstrating a persecution complex.
