It's one of the best shows I've ever seen, and a magnificent dive into depression.

While I understand making correlations with current events, you have to consider where Steven is coming from. Bismuth isn't talking about punching Homeworld Gems in the face; she's talking about shattering, which is tantamount to killing. Steven is not only a child, but he's a child filled with compassion and understanding, and to him, killing should never, EVER be an option, even against those as heinous as Homeworld Gems. He believes that he can come to an understanding with those who are out to get him; like he said, he's used to people wanting to kill him before he befriends them by now.
The thing is, while Peridot firmly believed in Homeworld ideology, she also showed an openness of learning and adapting, which was how Steven was able to get through to her. But when Rose poofed Bismuth, it gave her a chance to consider her actions, to debate if she was in the right if Rose turned on her. But instead, she wanted to get right back to shattering the Homeworld Gems. Steven tried to explain to Bismuth that NOBODY deserves shattering, and what does Bismuth do in response? She swings at Steven with the Breaking Point.
Bismuth is not beyond redemption, but she was also clearly in the wrong. What could Steven have done after she was poofed? Let her back out and hope that she would change her ways AGAIN? She had two chances, and she failed both. Bismuth is, simply put, mentally unhinged, and Steven was not emotionally ready to guide her out of how she felt.
