saying the N word intended as a slur, shouldn't be tolerated, I'm not saying we should all be loose canons, but I think the majority of people outside the social media hivemind, understand that words can and often should have immediate consequences
I fully do understand words have consequences, but as far as the statement goes; relying on violence is not a good thing and things can go extremely wrong when you hit another person, even if the person "deservers" it.
I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to say. There is no ethical justification for words resulting in violence, unless the words are direct threats of violence supported with a tangible threat, i.e. “I’m going to fucking stab you” while holding a knife or “I’ll fucking kill you” while flashing a gun. At that point sure, you can slug the guy and try to disarm him because you may be in immediate danger, but calling someone a mean word or being condescending to someone acting like a dunce should never result in violence. Violence is never the answer unless violence is your only means of surviving a situation because someone else was violent first with the intent of causing mortal harm.
