It's not enough to say we're "against violence;" we have to stand for non-violence. Violence is more than overt physical attack. Psychological & emotional violence are also violence. Adults getting bullied on the Internet is as much a problem as kids getting bullied at school.

Conflating violence and emotional abuse minimizes both and does nothing to end either.

“That notion leads to the criminalization of criticism and the empowerment of authorities to regulate it [speech]. The new sensitivity is the old authoritarianism in disguise, and it is just as noxious." -  J. Rauch, Kindly Inquisitors

Do you feel bullied over your blue-pilled views?

No it's not. Adults willingly participate on the internet. Children going to school is compulsory.

What a nice way of saying I won’t accept criticisms or arguments against my narrow bourgeois progressive worldview on the internet.

What can cause emotional distress is highly subjective. And this sort of thing can be used as a bulwark against criticism. I was bullied throughout school for my appearance, but I still cannot support suppression of speech.

You ignored rioting for a year and make excuses for people who damage property

If you are an adult, you should no longer be susceptible to bullying.
