Expanding your criteria to encompass all of history isn't really all that helpful. Today, in the actual situation we are experiencing as opposed to political movements that have been dead for decades, the far right are more violent than the far left by a large margin.
- dagw 8y agofar right are more violent than the far left by a large margin. Not that I necessarily disagree with you, but you're going to have to define your terms more narrowly if you want your argument to hold. Which countries, who's "we", are we talking state actors or individuals, how to Maoist rebel groups in Asia and South America feature into your calculus etc.
- untog 8y agoGiven what we're talking about here (i.e. Gab) I'm referring to US-based groups.
- WAHa_06x36 8y agoWe are talking about what is relevant in the here and now. We are talking about murders that are happening now.
- DuskStar 8y agoOk, so there's no far-right murders happening NOW. Because NOW is an instant, a single point in time. Which means you need a time range to care about. And 'relevant'? Is a murder in Sri Lanka relevant? New Zealand? Venezuela? Just the US? You seem to be being as obtuse as possible.
