I choose violence
Definitions
Examples
“You see⟳, I have⟳ this funny thing I say⟳ every morning and to my close⟳ circle of women friends quite often, especially when they're looking for advice on how to deal⟳ with white privilege and entitlement, and that is: 'Choose⟳ violence' I don't mean⟳ this literally. But when we say⟳ what needs to be said, a Black woman will always be seen as aggressive or arrogant, instead of confident, unafraid and assertive. […] But choosing the easier path doesn't benefit me, harmlessness does not benefit me. I choose⟳ violence.”
“On my last⟳ night in town before heading to the Midwest, I decide⟳ to try⟳ the hot dog at the Cape Cod Cafe. The suggestion draws some mockery on both sides of the family, who know⟳ damn well that coming to CCC without getting a bar pizza is a waste⟳ of their money (I offer⟳ to pay⟳: "Oh my God, Mrs. Hollywood with her own⟳ frickin' money, huh," an aunt says before slapping down a Visa with travel⟳ points). It is overpriced, eight dollars without any description except "hot dog." I choose⟳ violence. I order⟳ the hot dog.”
“The boring asss griiiiind. I usually enjoy⟳ the grind⟳, I’m currently up to my ears in Diablo4 grind⟳. It was just so bland and monotonous. Same with Witcher3 and Skyrim……I choose⟳ violence.”
