The violence is the denial of other’s right for self-determination by force.
By force, I mean both explicit and implicit use of force.
The violence is used individually or collectively.
The violence is used against anything categorisable: race, gender, sex, class, nationality, geographical origin, age, physical appearances, disabilities, species, etc.
The violence begins with the reduction of the complex object of hostility into a simplified monolithic abstraction.
The violence in its extreme form aims to deny the very existence of the object of hostility, the most abstract idea of all.
The use of lethal force is the ultimate form of violence: when the deed is done, the victims are reduced to mere numbers. The reduction of an agent into a faceless, voiceless, complete abstraction within the sequence of a faceless, voiceless, complete abstractions is the most violent act of all.
The violence is often, but not always, performed bidirectionally as the result of dual nature of hostility.
