Funny you should say that, given that I never requested a thread name to be changed because it challenged my views, unlike you. 👆TBH I am concerned with a vile ideology that is growing at the heart of liberalism today and uses "righteous anger" rhetoric for violent means.
It is indeed sad that many liberals simply ignore that and prefer meaningless slongans like #triggered instead of an honest approach to the problems they have.
I do not know why the title was changed, because I did not request that it be. I only took credit for suggesting the title that was ultimately chosen. I was as surprised as you to see it. You are obviously triggered by it though. So much so, that you had to create a thread inspired by it.
Moreover, who claimed liberals only support non-violent resistance in all circumstances? Many of the seminal events in American LGBT civil rights have been precipitated by violence, e.g. the Stonewall riots and the White Night riots. People are quick to forget that the modern LGBT movement started with LGBT people throwing bricks at police and lighting squad cars on fire.

There is the problem with violence among liberal minded people and it needs to be addressed.

Also, I disregard violence as it is, unless it's war or stopping crimes etc.
MLK and Ghandi proved you can get your way through peaceful means.

I agree with the title of the thread and Stigma's larger point that liberals are very kind hearted, great people. The best people really, everyone seems to think so. They want what is best for the environment and their fellow citizens. Noble intentions, indeed.
Plus even if you didn't agree with the title of the thread you could have always just changed it again, right?
Some liberals do stuff = all liberals do said thing.
Some conservatives do stuff = "It's just a fringe group."
And don't give me that bullshit that I wouldn't say the same thing if the roles were reversed. That doesn't change the situation. It's just a way of making yourself feel better about being a cold-hearted bastard.

In other words, don't call out hypocrisy because reasons.
