Doesn't seem they were advocating for violence.

because they didn't call for a violent overthrow of the government but a peaceful jazz fest like they had 9 years prior. they are calling for an occupy wallstreet 2.0

the stuff that parler was leaving up was outright sedition and calls for violence.

If your stated intent explicitly calls for ‘non-violence’, I expect this doesn’t violate ToS despite potential inferences from the sensational branding.

I never heard of this before so I don’t even know what happened on Sept. 17. Was it violent?
