You can advocate for mass violence against innocent people. Define the entire group of innocent people as terrorists and you can call for violence against them. Call them Hamas and you will get away with it.
That entirely depends who those people are. If you said in the early 2000s say: I’m training to join the army to go kill some Iraqis to bring “freedom”, you’d never get in trouble.
