    This is bad and dangerous. It's rooted in the desire to centrist institutions to appear "balanced" -- but its a false balance because different factions are not really symmetrical or parallel.https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1407402033896902661 …

        Ultimately, a counter-terrorism approach to right-wing political violence is just going to empower dangerous state actors with power that will be used against the left and subaltern groups. The alternative is an ideologically grounded battle in the field of politics.

        Why is this assumed to be some irrational form of centrist “balancing” rather than them outright showing that they too are anti-socialists? It’s not like these people don’t constantly mention they are capitalists.

        It’s distinguishing different approaches to terrorism. The answer to the doc question is “political”. If terrorists came from these ideologies, then the terrorism would be political (vs say, religious). Poorly worded, but not saying they are terroristic ideologies.
