He's saying axes are tools designed for chopping wood, and used as weapons out of necessity. Swords and spears are tools designed specifically for war, and function thereafter.

>>1264724
Spears were for hunting.

Which are themselves acts of violence and murder.

>>1264724
Except battle axes had thinner blades and different design than woodchoping axes you fucking retard.

>>1264735
The difference between hunting a beast with a spear and hunting a human with a spear is negligible from the viewpoint of the functionality of the spear. A spear for fishing is called a harpoon though, it usually has multiple points.

Chopping wood is violence against trees.

Axes were shit compared to swords when fighting against unarmored opponents due to smaller cutting edge and unbalanced nature of the weapon. When fighting against armored opponents, axes were inefficient against armor due to their design yet still keep the disadvantage of being unbalanced like the mace.

This one seems like a good woodchopping tool as well I bet the knights who used it were very poor and desperate.

>>1264740
no they aren't. one of the defining features of word "violence" is that it's use of physical force committed against another human being as a tool of power.
