I agree, but that doesn't mean we should silence people who bring up political issues.

That's a good indicator that pretty much everyone would agree.

However, what constitutes "use of force", however, changes from people to people. Some people believe that merely having a state is "use of force". Other people believe that having a billion dollars to bargain is "use of force". It gets crazier: other people believe it's neither. Or both. Etcetera.
