cuando no pretende agredir en absoluto


Explanation:
En este caso diría que no se alude a una agresión *pretendidamente* encubierta (el sujeto agrede pero intenta que nadie lo note) sino que se explicita que el comportamiento del sujeto puede resultar extremadamente destructivo especialmente cuando no pretende agredir en absoluto; especialmente cuando el sujeto no pretende, no intenta agredir a nadie, sus acciones, sus palabras, su comportamiento en fin puede llegar a ser particularmente destructivo.
