> Words can not be violent.

sure, sure.

please explain how Facebook did not contribute to the Rohingya "situation" in [Myanmar].

please document how violence-inciting speech never helps spark actual violence (xenophobic violence everywhere since the dawn of speech).

i know, i know... guns don't kill people, people kill people. the issue is: we're all latent murderers. civilization is a very thin veneer. if we were all perfectly rational, maybe we could all get along much better. but were but speaking [animals] and need all help we can get to maintain our outward civility.

i know it's a very fine line to tread, but we must not conflate the baby with the bathwater.

The real support for violence is not hidden in the Facebook walls of morons, it's on broadcast news. Virtually every news channel came out against Trump ending our war in Syria. By comparison, I couldn't care less what some dumb racists say on Facebook.
