Ben Shapiro has said, quite proudly, that Middle Eastern people inherently prefer living in open sewers and therefore violently destroying their means to have a functioning society is perfectly rational. This is unambiguously advocacy for violence.

Since you predictably brought up loosely organized anti-fascist groups taking direct action to de-platform explicitly white supremacist demonstrations, I'll point out that their actions are in defense of minorities from fascist groups who go well out of their way to make the elimination of people of color a topic of popular debate. Advocating for the elimination of a plurality of people is explicitly violence.

If this isn't a rational response to specific points you've made, you've already made up your mind about _first principles_. First principles are not up for debate.
