If I remember correctly, a lot of violence and multiple revolutions happened with the help of Twitter and YouTube all over the world. As long as violence is not in the US, it does not count, I suppose. That was probably what GP meant by saying "double standards".

There is both good violence and bad violence. Blanket rules don't exist, despite our wish they did.

Bad violence is against me and people I like, good violence is against people who I don't like — am I right?

It’s funny how these arguments always go the same way. X Group is horrible because they did Y action, but if I do Y action it’s fine, because I’m with the good guys.

The alternative, that all oppressed people just have to accept their oppression is even more intolerable, IMO.

I would agree with this. Various world leaders did 10x of what Trump did on Twitter, but since it wasn’t in the US no actions were taken.
