We're on a dark path: Most Americans say speech equals violence
Briefly

Words can cause harm, but equating them to violence undermines the experiences of actual victims and propels a misunderstanding of free speech.
The belief that words can be violence is especially prevalent among Generation Z, highlighting a significant cultural shift in how language is perceived.
While 80% of Americans surveyed acknowledge that words can be violent, this conflation poses dangers for free speech and individual expression.
The subjective nature of determining which words are considered violent can create an arbitrary system that fails to protect genuine free speech.
