That's the logic trap that liberals tend to fall into, and why they hiss and boo any sort of meaningful physical resistance. Punching up is not a form of violence, because it doesn't uphold or reinforce systemic oppression the way punching down does. A black person saying "fuck whitey" is not rebuilding those systems with her at the top, she's openly expressing dissent, and that is not something that should be frowned upon. Likewise, if I say "die cis scum" or something, this isn't an act of violence against cishets with the intent to exploit their labor and resources for my benefit, but an act of rebellion against an overclass that seeks to dehumanize me and push me to the fringes of society. A hard thing to get over is what I said earlier, recognizing that these outbursts are not personally directed at you, but at the system that enslaves and kills us that you do benefit from.
