….,

Last time leftwing stood for the majority of violence was in 2005 unless you want to nitpick about 2013 where the left were about even with the right.



Trond asked why it appeared to him that the leftwing had become more violent in the last 10 years in the US.

Looking at the blue line on this picture makes me wonder what made him believe that.



Also. HAHAHA wikipedia!

you're killing me!

Counting 2020? Oh yeah, that is a f***ing joke. People on the left, politicians and public figures even, were literally cheering on people going nuts in the streets and setting buildings, including police stations, on fire. It screams “unreliable data” to the high heavens.

As I said. It was published in June 2020. Is it possible it didnt have all the data for the summer 2020 yet? Is it possible it WAS published to highlight that whatever leftwing violence that happened, it was to remind us that this have been after period of rising rightwing violence?

But its true that whatever data happened during and after 2020 should be added. You might not like the addition of january 6th though..

How many people died during January 6th protest? The only violent death was a protestor being shot unjustly so unless you count harsh language as violence…wait lefties usually do

   I do not mind the right wing as being considered "more violent".  The reality is they are with regard to severity of consequence.  That study has to reach elbow deep into its ass though, to make incels and white supremacists "right wing", despite incels not really looking very right wing by traditional standards, and that study actually has ethnonationalism as a category (which is where white supremacy should be, unless you are just trying to pad stats). 


   The study is trash.  It is not "centrist" and it simply wants to paint a narrative (which I can honestly say, of the many people I know, right, left and center, the right wing folks are MUCH more capable and willing regarding serious violence, so no issue from me saying they are more violent) and has to hopscotch categories to get where it wants to be.

   So rioters are domestic terrorists?  I think that is going to skew your shitty study quite a bit.  As for "blue lives matter", normies are idiots to think the police are on their side.  I am ok with calling all the rioters domestic terrorists though, but I think that is going to put quite a bruise on BLM...not that it needs more bad publicity.

  The best part about calling things "right wing" is as the left has gone batshit, it is SUPER easy to end up right wing now a days.  Problems with men in Women's locker rooms or sports?  Right wing.  Problems with showing up to vote?  Right Wing.   Having any issues with abrupt societal shifts conflicting with personal or religious beliefs?  Right Wing.  Defeating Referendums with a democratic vote (like California did with denying same sex marriage)? Right Wing.   Taking issue with jumping into wars on a whim?   Right Wing.  Problems with massive corporations dictating your life or speech to you?  Right Wing.   Issues with having medical procedures forced upon you?  Right Wing. 

  It is getting super duper easy to be right wing.  You used to have to at least go to church on sundays, now you can just not shift your point of view abruptly every 2 years and you end up right wing.

Greetings!

Oh, Geesus. All the Left-Wing pussy bitches that cry sanctimoniously about "January 6th!" can shove a plunger in their fucking asses. The Left-Wing cunts should get together and demand that all of the hordes of ANTIFA and BLM thugs be fucking hunted down and strung the fuck up--all of those very real riots--murdering dozens of people, beating people, looting, burning, and causing BILLIONS of dollars in damages--is far more real and important.

The January 6th protest was a fucking picnic by comparison.

But we know that the Left supported ANTIFA and BLM--and the fucking Marxist bitches STILL DO.

Fucking Leftist cunts don't know what a real right-wing riot is. Just imagine groups of right-wing groups ruthlessly hunting down sobbing Leftists all over the country, and curb-stomping the shit out of them. Dragging the fucking Marxists out of their rat-nest homes and making them swing from nearby trees--everywhere. Every time Leftists get togther to "Protest"--they are savagely raked by sniper fire. Heavily armed gangs swarm them as the Leftist rats attempt to flee, and beat them into jello with lead pipes. Rip their fucking tongues out. Whaa! Whaa!

THAT would be something for the Leftist cunts to worry about.

January 6th? That was fucking nothing. A tragedy that a veteran--and a patriot--unarmed by the way--was murdered by a Capitol Police Officer. No crying about "Police Brutality!" there, huh? Fucking lying goddamned rats. No worries though. More and more Americans see through the fucking Marxist propaganda campaign so loved by the Leftist rats, and are turning against the Leftist fucking hordes.

Every dog has their day, so the old saying goes. The savage dog day against the Leftists in this country and around the world is long, long over due--but when it comes, well, it will surely be epic.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

But its true that whatever data happened during and after 2020 should be added. You might not like the addition of january 6th though..

From the report itself they were well aware of the George Floyd riots (sorry "protests") at the time of publication:
"Extremists from all sides flooded social media
with disinformation, conspiracy theories, and incitements
to violence in response to the protests following the death
of George Floyd, swamping Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and
other platforms"


but the only reference about this that they cite is an article written by New York Times about the "misinformation".


 See, for example, Davey Alba, “Misinformation About George Floyd Protests
Surges on Social Media,” New York Times, June 2, 2020, https://www.nytimes.
com/2020/06/01/technology/george-floyd-misinformation-online.html.


They also describe why they chose the given time period and the goal of the study:

This time period was selected in order to provide context on the history of domestic
terrorism in the United States in recent decades, and in particular to allow analysis of how
the current right-wing threat compares to the last major wave of right-wing violence in
the 1990s.

This sounds highly biased against right-wing extremism, and largely overlooking left-wing (this can also be seen in their choice of sources in the methodology, where several sources for anti-semitism etc are given, but relatively few looking into leftist terrorism)

How many incidents of left wing terrorism like this one have been since well before 2016?

Quote from: Rhedyn

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Even jkim would not present data for 2020 that was published in June 2020.

Woke is a death spiral, thus has no corners. It's just a continuous and accelerating slide downward into oblivion.

There is only one way to "turn the corner on woke": mass execution of the enemy. Anything less than that and the degenerates destroy America.

However, this lesson will be realized when it's far too late.

"Mass murder or we're all doomed". What's the point of posts like this? Trying to prove that you're worse than any woke idiot? I honestly don't get it.
