There is a close connection between truth and nonviolence. Truth-claims compete exclusively in the realm of argumentation. It would be a performative contradiction for someone to claim otherwise - their actions (engaging in argumentation) would be at odds with their claim (that truth-claims can exist outside the realm of argumentation). Therefore, it can be accepted as an axiom that truth-claims cannot exist outside the realm of argumentation. Therefore, when someone opts to employ violence or coercion, they are opting to not participate in the process of truth-finding. This person can then be promptly dismissed. When the aggressor speaks, you can rest assured that it’s nonsense.

What am I missing?
