It’s not the latter, but not quite the former either. It’s an idiom that describes a situation where two or more people find themselves aggressively trying to make the same point to each other but in different terms. One may suddenly realize and say, “I think we’re in violent agreement on this.” It’s a play on the more literal notion of violent DISagreement (whereby people yell, come to blows, or worse).

Violent Agreement

People, especially hackers who all want the same goal, but have totally different ideas how to get there.

When they are so passionate about their way being right that no one is making any headway, then they are in violent agreement.

So my peeps were in violent agreement — we all totally wanted to go to The Tunnel — but couldn’t decide if we should take a cab or the subway.

The Bible has had it right for millenniums. “A live dog is better off than a dead lion. For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.” (Ecclesiastes 9:4, 5) Does that mean there is absolutely no hope for the dead? Jesus Christ preach about resurrection to life on a restored paradise earth. His Jewish follower Martha, whose brother, Lazarus, had just died, believed in the resurrection, for she said of Lazarus: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:24) To this, Jesus answered: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25, 26) Earlier, he had said: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” John 5:28, 29; Luke 23:43. As you can see there will be a resurrection of both the righteous. and the unrighteous. Please do further research in you Bible to get a better understanding.

RE:
What does the phrase "violent agreement" mean?
I have heard this term means either in strong agreement or "I am in agreement with the overall plan but disagree with the details of the plan." Please help me settle this.
