The World Health Organization (WHO) defines violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation
You can't be violent against cars. You can vandalise them, which is a crime against property, but that's still not violence.

I'm sorry, but you've been woefully misinformed. Reddit is mostly young, and thus socially progressive. Any relation to the US Democratic party is completely by accident, and in fact, I've seen tons of criticism towards them for going the wrong way (trying to entice "centrist Republicans" instead of being more progressive).
This is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. Cars are insured, and even if they weren't... this is still absurd. I can't even put into words how absurd it is. So if someone burns your house, it's the same as getting your feet amputated? Or what exactly is your scale? Losing the phone the same as going bald?
