but fringe parties can't be so picky, so take a step back; what do the smaller fringe lefty grps do? how does the left as a whole handle the Idiot Question?

It seems to me that simply turning such people away is not a sufficient solution given that people can operate alone or in separate groups. These people seem smart enough to be ideological, but for some reason they don't consider consequences. Either that, or they're sociopathic

I've seen some leftists argue that right wing ideologies themselves contain certain ideas more likely to attract sociopaths. If this is true, it's important to know how this functions.

I think the idea that some people getting involved in radical right wing ideas are notivated by hate to have some truth to it.

I've argued in the past that many ppl who are on the radical right (i.e. not just right-leaning moderates) have been beaten up pretty badly by modern society:https://quaslacrimas.wordpress.com/2017/02/01/recipe-for-reaction/ …

True. Alienation and societal atomisation probably contribute. I sometimes think about why Anton Lundin Pettersson attacked the school in Trollhättan here in Sweden. Supposedly he was a bit of a loner, and he seems to have been filled with much frustration.

I wonder if he would have made different choices if he could have been a part of a right wing organisation. That way his tendencies and beliefs could have been channelled into less destructive, more productive endeavours. Thereby innocent lives could have been spared.

I find there to be a common refrain from some leftists that xenophobic violence can be explained by rise in popularity of anti-immigrant parties, but this is probably correlation without causality. They are in my view instead both caused by the same thing, namely alienation.

another under-discussed issue is that black-on-white crime is basically considered acceptable and normal, and barely investigated, so we would never even bother to find out if a black attacker left far-left comments on some hotep youtube video

as far as tribal violence goes, whites have a *long* way to go before they converge to the avg of their own minorities (or multi-ethnic societies elsewhere) this makes attempting a statistical comparison of the two types of violence impossible
