Published in 2022 amid US Government's tyranny crescendo-ing to unprecedented magnitudes as done by many (if not all) presidential administrations and congressional classes, unchallenged by judicial benches, particularly those of 21st century (without exception), that is to say, my 12th book (3rd of trilogy thus 1st and 2nd), entitled appropriately and exhaustively Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters (May 2022)...
To say (see Proem & Poem No. 147) a person or group of persons have biases is as ridiculously unnecessary as to say having propensities, preferences, limits, scarcities, flaws, errors, inabilities, deficiencies, gluttonies, excesses and so on, for to be human is to have all of these things, that is, the numerous persisting thorn(s) in the flesh (2 Co 12:7). Thus mere congruity imposes the speculation then inclusion; to be human is to covet as well.
These human tendencies prevail mostly unnoticed as part of the larger whole, the philosophically universal propensities for error and excess, else the theologically inherent state of total depravity consequent of the Adamic sin. Amid the context of either proposition, the tendencies, propensities or depravities (if you will) are commonly complicated then compounded hence exceptionally exasperated by covetousness. Always a subtle impulse initially, yet if to linger beyond a few moments capriciously, unintentionally, purposefully or intensely, incited will be presumption, excited the arrogance then ignited the disrespect, disregard therefore violence privately, publicly, socially, politically, legally, illegally, etc., directly against others’ dissent as exercised per the Singular Human Right to Consent or in this case Dissent explicitly else implicitly, of course inseparably, as manifested by the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.
To clarify (again) before proceeding; Violence is observably, logically, consistently thus ethically defined as each action and every activity exacted against and executed upon another’s dissent explicit else implicit.
So to expand as logically following; Violence is not a static even dynamic list of horridities as usually although arbitrarily, erroneously assumed. For what is harmful or injurious versus beneficial or advantageous are determined solely by the recipient the individual per his/her unique propensity, prerogative, preference, purpose, etc. Consequently the same action, the same activity may be individually determined then accepted as beneficial or advantageous to one person while simultaneously determined then rejected as harmful or injurious to another person.
To deduce further as obviously compelling; Silence or uncontentious participation (i.e. in society) is not Consent unexpressed as usually although arbitrarily, erroneously assumed per mindlessly hailed qui tacet consentire videtur (see Proposition, Problem & Poem Nos. 222-224). Such egregious assumption often elaborately purposed by writers so to justify without evidence nor logic a preferred political or economic ism hence governmental system, perhaps as well particular set of laws, regulations, taxes, subsidies, prohibitions, wars and so on. Onward the illogical digression and immoral declination, for soon the assumed implicit consent presumptuously devolves to assumed societal obligation, ordinal citizenship, patriotic allegiance, nationalistic duty.
To
say and behave otherwise would be nothing but another’s unmindful presumption
and willful arrogance, either well driven by innate covetousness.

Ah the scorn amid laurels self-donned by fat elitists, fatter corporatists
Thus the latter and former cronyists along despotists among the unholiest
Acolytes then academics their pantheists of etatism-mysticism blend
Ears bending, eyes transfixing, mouths gaping to each fad and every trend
Contrarily thus and then reasoning towards peace, always
the choice
Among cities or deserts, civilizations or wildernesses
as few voiced
Less so the study, the ponder, lesser still the labor
until tomb’s cold lure
Nonetheless the innate drive, outward cry; qui tacet dissentire videtur
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
