I've seen far more on the left calling for bullying, inciting violence, and inciting hate than the right.
- taborj 7y agoOh good, I'm not alone in seeing this trend. The left seems to have a more "if you're not with us you're against us" stance.
- steffandroid 7y agoThat's funny, I've seen far more on the right actually committing acts of violence.
- dEnigma 7y agoEven if that's true, people on the right seem to be more likely to actually follow threats with physical violence. At least this is the case in Germany where the deaths caused by right-wing extremism since the beginning of the 90s number more than a hundred, while there have been only two deaths since 2001 caused by left-wing radicals. Unfortunately the article I read on this didn't have numbers for left-wing violence in the 90s, but I doubt they would make up for this significant difference.
- objectivetruth 7y agoSince we can apparently post any anecdata we want here now, I've seen the exact opposite. I'm curious, what are the leftist counterparts to the Proud Boys, "Day of the Rope" posts, "Free Helicopter Rides" T-shirts, widespread embrace of Nazi imagery, and armed Pizzagate conspiracy crusaders?
