This isn't redefining anything, violence takes many forms, not just broken glass. There's mental violence, economic, sociological, cultural, verbal.

OK, can you give me the definition of violence that you use? Because the common one is:

behaviour involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

You remind me of my Christian parents who redefined "religious" to mean "following the laws of the Bible", which they claim they don't because they follow Jesus instead, so my Christian parents now claim not to be religious, even though the common definition is "relating to or believing in a religion." - simple as that. It feels really silly to do that. Cult-ish, even.

What displayed here is a form of economic violence. It looks like you asked for a definition of violence instead of searching for types of violence.
