Losing you job because of your views is not violence, but it may as well be. Fearing authority, having to move away from your home, none of these is violence but they are real and unacceptable. The author here is playing with words.

"Fearing authority, having to move away from your home"

not violence, these are results of violence, its not always physical injury, and that often isnt the point of the violence, its the coercion, the threat of more violence if you dont obey.

there are different types of violence, such as coercive, sadistic, transgressional..
