I didn’t read it like that. I read “attacks” in the “verbal attacks” sense as opposed to physical.

The idea that verbal attacks can be somehow synonymous to physical attacks is nonsensical.

Like the term "verbal violence" - what a way to conflate meanings to a misleading extent.

In other words you’re just repeating that sticks and stones may break bones but words will never hurt. Hardly a well established / obvious statement

You should tell that to people who invented the phrase "stochastic terrorism."
