    Also, for the record, our system is absolutely not set up to resolve conflicts in nonviolent ways. The system itself is violent, and it uses many forms of violence to perpetuate itself from physical to economic to social oppression. The only thing it knows is violets, and the only thing that it has ever responded to is violence. You may hate it or ignore it, but that is just the facts

        Violence is that act of being violated; it is not necessarily “Mean Person Hit Me!”. Our homelessness and housing problems are all due to acts of economic violence. The courts’ actions against women seeking abortion is absolutely violence. And blacks and Hisapanics can tell you about police violence.

        All of America is violence.
