I would say most of those examples don't advocate violence. Don't get me wrong, they're controversial, but they aren't immediately calling for violence.
Roger Stone posting a picture of a judge with crosshairs next to her head - that was directly advocating violence.
We aren't discussing meeting the legal definition of advocating violence, we are talking about what someone considers advocating violence. Where the line is drawn between free speech and violence is subjective based on the ideology of the individual.
It is more likely the OP example is using the subjective definition than the legal definition because they are complaining to Amazon and posted it online.
