> It's OK to say you wish a politician was dead. It's not OK to pay someone to kill them.

Both actions are equivalent, as such words are (social and/or political) capital bounties offered to the masses in return for fulfilling the death of said politician.

Capital always exists, even in the form of words. To deny a variant of capital whilst allowing another variant is inconsistent/doublespeak.

Just because it's not printed onto a piece of denominated paper, doesn't mean that such capital doesn't exist.
