The left-leaning ones usually don't call for the eradication of certain peoples.
- tremon 1y agoTo be fair, neither do the right-leaning ones; the ones that do have fallen completely on their side. It's just that societal discourse has been purposefully skewed so that the mean lean is 60 degrees to the right, making it very easy for weak individuals to fall over.

- sleight42 1y agoIf we're talking about the US, that's a straw man. There was a study that made objectively clear that the right is several times more actively violent than the left. "Both sides" is a euphemistic fig leaf of an argument at best.
- zchrykng 1y agoIf you actually look at the data, that "study" assigned a lot of really unclear or marginal cases to "right wing". They also didn't count a lot of obvious left wing political violence as "left wing".
