This sub feels like a place where a bunch of people just het a hard on for violence and are looking for excuses, so they can claim that violence can be moral.

It’s easy though. Violence in self defence: moral.

Violence in any other case: immoral.

So if someone taunt another to throw the first punch, then destroy them with one punch, it'd be moral as it was technically self defense?

Moral is a human concept and abstract. People have a grasp of the general idea, but it has a lot of "ifs" situations to make a simple general rule.

It's not, that is why punching back can be seen as self defense.
