I think property damage and sabotage of equipment is valid.
However, with how their propaganda is, they equip property damage with violence.
And I think we, as a country, need to realign our views on that. Property damage is not violence. Violence is harm to an individual. To a person. Not economic damage, but actual physical health damage.
They will respond with violence to property damage. And that needs to be fought.
So if their cars have tires slashed, windshields broken, it’s not violence.
If they are blocked on the street and can’t drive down it. It’s not violence.
Tear gas and “less-than-lethals” are violence.
They have been violent to us, the people. Exclusively.
