What if there isn’t the same sort of radicalization and violence on the left? Would it be okay then?
Unfortunately a major component of the situation is the claim that both sides are doing the same thing, which as far as I can tell isn’t meaningfully true.
- _-david-_ 5y agoIt doesn't matter if there was only one case of violence or radicalization on the left. You should try to stop all violence and radicalization or none. Specifically targeting only one side is political. If there is, in fact, only a minimal amount on the left then the additional work would be minimal. There would be no reason to not include the left in this targeting.
- wilg 5y agoThere's no evidence that anyone is specifically targeting only "one" "side" here, other than the "terrorist manifestos" and material in question are associated with right-wing extremist groups.
- _-david-_ 5y agoThe article only mentions right wing groups and doesn't mention left wing groups. Perhaps they will go after both sides, but the article doesn't mention that.
- wilg 5y agoSure, but that could just be because there aren’t a substantial amount of violent left-wing extremist groups that organize in this way.
