Of course simply talking about government, or any particular government policy, is not about violence. And so it's not a derail that needs to be moderated.
But violence is an essential part of government. That's all I was saying.
Compare: simply talking about cryonics is not about quantum mechanics. If discussion of quantum mechanics were counterfactually forbidden, talking about cryonics would not be forbidden thereby. But cryonics, like all physical systems, is "implemented" or backed by quantum mechanics; you can't have one without the other.
