> It seems relevant to ask whether that incitement to respond to arguments with force is actually happening or not

I would say yes. Haven't we seen journalists being harassed for asking pointed questions, when this kind of harassment results in death threats?

This is why some get labeled extremists. Just today here in Sweden a guy got sentenced to one year in prison for an attack during confrontation with a political group, where he hit someone over the head with a bottle and attacked a child. During a previous similar situation he stabbed someone with a knife, so now its a repeat offense.

Those people we send to jail until they rehabilitate and can return to normal society where we don't do those things.
