Because one has the veneer of civility and the other does not. That's all liberals truly care about: the veneer of civility that makes them feel better about the violence inherent to their system. Their politicians all the time call for the murder of homeless people through policy, but because they are calling for it through policy, there is a veneer of civility. But if they said that they would like to kill homeless people outright, most liberals would be compelled to decry it because of the lack of veneer of civility even though the results are the same.

The reason we are able to see through this veneer as leftists is because we understand the material reality of those actions' outcomes.
