Justification of political violence increasing online?

I hope this is not frowned upon but here is a comment to me in a thread recently.

The thread was about the abolitionist John Brown, for some context.

"I'm guessing you agree with the concept of the American revolution, which was very clearly laid out political violence that swept up a lot of unfortunate innocent people in its wake.

Currently, I think political violence against the owning class of the US is warranted, since we have a political system that is built to overwhelmingly favor them and is literally destroying the world in the process. At this point I don't know what other than political violence is going to force the sociopathic billionaires that control our governments to turn around and actually save the world. I also think that political violence in the effort to throw off authoritarianism from an outside power is warranted, such as what we're seeing in Ukraine and Palestine."

  1. Is the justification of political violence online increasing ?

  2. How serious are posts like this?

Let's not make this a Right/Left issue.

I will bring up Cole Allen not in a partisan way but to illustrate that his manifesto sounds like some of this online rhetoric.
