TIL standing in a road holding a sign is violence.
Can you think of a reason to condemn preventing black kids from going to school as part of a battle to ensure black people stay second class citizens that doesn't apply equally to a civil rights protestor blocking traffic? Because I can. Can you think of a framework in which deliberately preventing someone from accessing a sometimes lifesaving healthcare procedure is considered bad in a way that isn't based entirely on the fact that they stand in front of a building to do it?(And of course, if you actually believe a zygote is morally equivalent to an infant, then blocking people from getting abortions would clearly be the right thing to do.) Because I can. Can you think of a reason why that bit about blocking scabs might be a bad way to persuade anyone of your point*? I'm not saying that blocking traffic is inherently good. Blocking emergency vehicles that are on their way to save someone is very bad, but that doesn't seem to I'm saying like treating it like its violence to get in the way of you getting to work is silly.
And of course the idea that intentionally standing in the way of someone's car is way more violent than sending a barrage of graphic threats to kill someone which include their current address because graphic death threats only use words is ludicrous.
*such as the fact that the rare people who would be swayed more bit than, for example, blocking access to a church because antitheism, already agree with you, and those who are persuadable but not convinced
