Once the violence starts

You being privileged enough to not be personally impacted by it (yet, or enough to be willing to give up that privilege) doesn't mean the violence isn't already here, being inflicted on billions of people, costing millions of lives, all to enrich a tiny percent of the population that already has almost all of the power and resources, meanwhile you're happy to sit there and criticise those who react to this oppression in self defence.

What you are, is part of the problem.

You're assuming a whole lot here. I'm not discounting the existing injustices, I'm saying vigilante justice spirals out. They are separate topics.
