No, not at all. Otherwise, I'd be hypocritical in criticizing the aggression caused by inflation and plastic pollution, for example. Returning to my initial point, which is to avoid classifying everything as aggression. I believe aggression can be defined as an action against someone's physical integrity or property, as in the National Policy. It would be possible to delve deeper and consider whether air pollution falls under this category, perhaps.
it becomes difficult because of this

Yes, we are. The only issue is how it’s framed. And even saying it like that sounds weird. I’m with you so I can try to understand too. If it’s proven that you’re suffering because of this, who are you going to blame? Farting animals? Gases from underground sources? Factories? Landfills? It’s not something objective.

It's not objective because we're not talking about measurements, but the hypothetical would be that, in the case of the diesel generator next to the school, I can prove that the exhaust of, say, soot, is directly causing harm to my kid's lungs because of the concentration - the closer you are to the source, the less diluted this becomes.
I'm not talking about any generic pollution, or "global warming" or any global bullshit that doesn't fix anything: I'm talking about direct aggression. In this case, not running proper filters on the generator would be an act of aggression, yes or no?

We could talk about this all day. If it's not as straightforward as the example you just described, if the generator hadn't been there and it was put in later and without the filters, not to mention the noise pollution and everything else, and all sorts of hypothetical situations. Yes.
