Beating reporters, pulling motorists out of their vehicles, throwing molotov cocktails at occupied buildings, etc. All politically motivated violence aka terrorism.
Are you really defending that based on who does it?
- manuelabeledo 4y agoNo, I’m just saying that there are grades of malice, and I put nazis on the top, with a comfortable margin over any second. Because their motivation is to remove any “undesirable” from their sight, and their definition of “undesirable” is wide and expanding and imminent, at least in the US [0] In contrast, there has been one single murder in the past 26 years, where a far left activist was charged in the US, although subsequently shot and killed by the police [1]. So, I’m evaluating motivation here. There’s no such thing as “both sides are bad”. Centrism is a lazy and uninformed view of the world.

No, there's no such thing as "your side is also bad so my side therefore is not". But both sides can easily be wrong. You don't need to draw false equivalences to condemn two sets of people at once.
