In this chapter, I discuss the subtlety of violence meted out on Ugandan Members of Parliament on the social media platform, X. I argue that social media platforms are used to not only demand for accountability but as avenues to share frustration, anger and discontent against politicians. I especially discuss the use of the hashtag #TextTheThief to show the two-sided nature of violence. While the hashtag was used to force Parliamentarians into capitulation, it was also used as a means of meting out emotional, psychological and physical violence on the Members of Parliament. While the citizens used this chance to inquire about public funds, I argue that Parliamentarians, in their silence, acted in a violent manner. Drawing on Marshal Rosenberg’s conceptualisation of violence and nonviolence, I argue that the hashtag opened avenues through which unmet needs from both the citizens and their political leaders were expressed, and sometimes were met with a silence wall. In doing this, violence was performed on the part of both the citizens and the parliamentarians.
