The statement and accompanying images engage in public discourse by addressing the issue of political violence and its justification across political ideologies. The statement highlights a perceived disparity in attitudes towards political violence between liberals and conservatives, using statistical data to support the claim. The context involves a conversation about a political figure's inappropriate comments, which adds a layer of critique regarding political conduct and accountability.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement raises concerns about political violence, which could contribute to harm if not addressed responsibly. However, it uses statistical data to support its claim, which can be seen as an attempt to inform rather than incite.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement and images respect privacy by not revealing personal information but engage in a critique of a public figure's behavior, which is a common aspect of political discourse.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, as it focuses on highlighting differences and potential negative behaviors rather than fostering dialogue.

    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism of a political figure, which is part of public discourse, but it does not resort to personal attacks beyond the critique of actions and statements.
