Can I ask what websites/pages you are speaking of specifically? I think any group promoting genocide should be removed and haven't seen any liberal equivalents of the daily stormer.
- stale2002 9y agoI can give some. Reddit r/socialism and r/Anarchism are very pro violence against anybody who is not far left. They support violence against the people who are supporting our current "Capitalist regime". As they like to say "the liberals get the bullet too".
- Apocryphon 9y agoThe practical difference between the two is that revolutionary leftist groups in the U.S. have been essentially toothless since the '60s, (rowdy black bloc protesters and extremist SUV-dealership torching ecologists aside) whereas since the '90s there's been an uptick of organized right-wing extremism in the form of militia movements, white supremacist groups, etc. So one cluster is a group of internet tough guys, and the other cluster are internet tough guys who may or may not be actually affiliated with armed militants. This is my perception of the current situation, definitely could be helped by a fact check of FBI or other law enforcement stats, though.
