One side of extremism want to kill people the other doesn’t this is pretty simple

  Unironically, which one is that then? Because as far as I can tell, both are armed and battering each other.

Borderline terrorists (= "action or threat designed to influence the government or intimidate the public").

        Youre right, the article is old, antifa has killed a single person, its only 300 times more murders from the right than antifa now. of course also ignoring that antifa medics were attempting to provide medical aid to danielson when the right pushed them away As for those other 2, the first has nothing to do with antifa, the second is a trash fire where no one was hurt I also like how your response to statistics is individual stories

        Careful, we might begin to suspect that you did not ask your question unironically or in good faith.

          No, I think there's clearly a large cohort of angry and armed Trumpers also looking for a fight. Just visit Facebook. But the ratio of 300:0 for right:left violence is clearly wrong.

        In that first Wikipedia link, it mentions that Danielson's killing is the first time an anti-fascist has been charged wit homicide in 26 years. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the "crown of most violent organization active today."
