Putting "random words in quotes that people didn't actually say" is not conducive to productive and healthy discussion.
The quote on "literal act of violence" is a cultural reference to an article in NYT in 2017 that is now used as a way to call someone a certain kind of leftist. The entire comment is about "these people", the "activists". So these words are also not "random words in quotes".
No NYT article is in the top 20 Google results for that phrase. And it's a straw man in the context of Google firing Margaret Mitchell.
