If I’m holding something and someone comes up to me to try to take it from me, that’s violence. If I put my wallet in a locker, then you come by after I leave and break into the locker, that’s theft and not violence. If I set a booby trap in the locker I would be at fault because an innocent could get hurt, but if I catch your hand in my pocket and twist it off you got what was coming to you.
It’s one thing to have money or other items stolen but passports, phones, that can have serious consequences. Some people also have valuable photos in their wallet. Those thieves deserve a proper beating or even one or two fingers cut off. Fuck that scum.
It is like sticking your hand up sometimes skirt or demanding someone gives you their wallet with an implied threat, or purse snatching, or breaking in whilst someone is home.
It is imposing on the other parties dignity such that they have to accept your transgression to their own dimishment or defend themselves and said dignity.
Theft is not violence just like property damage isn’t violence and it’s silliness to pretend they are.

I don’t disagree with what you’ve said and I don’t see it as contradictory to what I’ve said.
