- dwoldrich 1y agoAre you in the states? ICE protests that get violent. Burning Tesla dealerships. Assassinations. The list is long and growing.
- jeffbee 1y agoJust write one down. Any particular place and date.

"All the extremist-related murders in 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, with eight of the 13 killings involving white supremacists and the remaining five having connections to far-right anti-government extremists. This is the third year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings."

- Matticus_Rex 1y agoHuh? I think it's hard to make a case that the left is meaningfully more violent, even weighing in stuff like riots/arson/looting (and it's not actually fair to pin all that on the left, when we know so much is opportunistic and only loosely ideology-driven). But you can't name an act of violence committed by someone on the left recently? Not one?
