Big corp foisting social agency change on people has biological effects. It rather highlights the lack of free agency and self determination our society is built on.

Go ahead and be academic but you’re one of billions, aka too insignificant to matter by your own tools of measure; there’s a reason the mathematicians of old warned against the application of such cognitive tools to societies needs. Statistical insignificance is a philosophy that can be thrown right back in your face.

I'm not saying it doesn't have effects, or that it was good. But calling it "violence" dilutes the meaning of that word into nothing, as the threshold is so low almost anything qualifies as "violent".
