You misread parent's post. They wrote (emphasis mine):

> extreme far right realized they could rephrase their violence as speech

And in your post that became:

> It's actually the far left that characterizes speech as violence.

"Rephrasing violence as speech" has approximately the meaning of "pretending violence is actually speech"; "characterizing speech as violence" has the meaning of "pretending speech is violence", ie, the exact opposite.

These two claims don't contradict eachother.

I'm looking for examples where the far right redefines/rephrases/characterizes/pretends violence is speech. That's all I asked for.
I'm late to the party, but dox'ing someone is violence against them.

When anyone dox'es someone with the intent that they are harmed, that's inciting violence.

Doxing a [insert minority group leader] is an example of "the right" using violence against someone and pretending it's free speech.

I think more people need to hear this.

The right is not alone in this issue, but they certainly have more criminal convictions resulting from violence than I can remember "the left" having.
