We know that oppressive governments the world round demand the second option. Which should you demand?

See, but here's the thing. Irresponsible speech that promotes violence will always lead to suppression. You 4chan jackoffs knew this a long time ago, but thought that it was more important to be edgelords and have lulz than it was to be responsible. So now, you reap the whirlwind and spoil it for every
The American independence happened because some people promoted violence. Slavery was abolished because some people promoted violence. It is sad, but there is always a moment when you have to promote violence if you want to have freedom. One thing is for sure, when we are not allowed to speak, then violence is the only solution.
There was no "war of Northern aggression". The south fired first, and fought nastiest. The North simply woke up and finished the fight. Same with the "Revolution". England started violence, and woke a sleeping giant.
I would argue that's less true for the Civil War. The North won and wandered off the field. The South has stayed on the field and spent over a century slowly rewriting history, with pretty good results.

I see no problem here (except with some employees who are complaining, who should probably be fired).

Yes, but in both cases, the side that promoted violence ended up losing. You should have thought that through.

In those two examples, there was plenty of violence on both sides.
If the independence movement had failed, we'd be talking today about that time revolutionary terrorists conspired to attack shipping in Boston.
