Agreed in part. Self-defense is always okay, and you’d be crazy to say otherwise. But political violence like the system of slavery we’ve had engraved in law from the 1600’s to today is atrocious, but not thought of by most as political violence.

I feel like the concept of political violence is deliberately muddied so state forces can label people who oppose state violence can be labelled agitators or terrorists

The whole system of American slavery from its origins in Virginia to the prisons of today has been fought for and relentlessly held onto by the colonists, by the Confederates, then by the planters and factory owners, and if you told me this photo was from 1857 I’d believe you. It’s from 2011.

You know, I’ve read over your comment but you know what? So what if I use a q-tip to clean my ears? Sometimes the inside of my ears itch and I just can’t reach with my keys or whatnot, and I don’t care how people look at me.

Prison labor. After the war planters wanted their cheap work force again, and made laws designed to keep black people in prisons and on plantations, or working in projects such as the Swannanoa Tunnel, which was more dangerous than fighting in WW1. Over 400 black graves have never been found there because nobody has looked for them.

In fact the 13th amendment never abolished slavery. It’s still okay to enslave criminals.
