"Violence is not Evil, it is a tool just like any other."
This is true. Perhaps, I'm speaking more anecdotally, but there are a few characteristics that I've noticed to be more frequent within the Gen Z generation. They seem to be a touch more scared of the potential application of brute force in comparison to previous generations and seem to be more vulnerable to the opinions of others.
In short, this quote stands true.
"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times."
