The reason it seems many of us hammer the Far-Left more than the Far-Right is that we EXPECT White Supremacists et al. to act like violent thugs. Liberalism is suppose to be cerebral, making the case with good arguments, not angry fists. Conclusion: the Far-Left ≠ Liberalism.

No, you are doing the fascists work for them. In order to justify right wing violence they have to make resistance to fascism appear to be more dangerous, violent, and prevalent than it is. The data are clear - 100% of deaths from political violence right now are right wing.

I have joked that you fools are making this the “Reichstag Milkshake”. One of the necessary tasks for fascists to gain power is to cast the resistance to fascism as an existential threat - so they can justify even greater violence and suppression of rights.

"Reichstag milkshake" is a very good term for this. Whether it's that bad yet or not is debatable, but the fascists, amplifying their message through social media, are sure enough trying to make it that bad.
