Neoliberalism is how people think like this. In order to stop the wave of strikes, protests, and violent demonstrations for workers rights the capitalist ruling class started heavily pushing the doctrine that "All acts of violence are always morally wrong". They indoctrinate children into it through the education system and mass media. The intent was to stall the progress of workers rights movements in the long term, and it worked exactly as they intended.

The biggest thing people don't understand is that governments exerting control necessitates violence, as laws are only recommendations otherwise.

The question of whether something should be a law should always consider: “Is this worth using violence to enforce?”
