I love that video essay; I'm using it in my film class last semester. Love the rant too, though apparently it's not Tommy Lee (which is good as I'm told he's a Right Dickhead.)

Anyway, yes. I learned this when I was a baby anarchist being told that smashing a Starbucks window was violent, but letting people die on the streets or starve due to economic policy or labour in sweatshops was somehow not violent. It's only gotten worse since then. Kneeling is violent. Putting your hands up is violent. Breathing too loud is violent. Making a movie with female leads is violent. Mass murder, deportation, concentration camps for toddlers are...not violent?
