      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.

      Considering that the far right perpetrates way more violence than the far left (it isn't even close), your asymmetry in criticism of violence perpetuates a narrative of false equivalence that portrays left wing violence as far more of a problem than it really is.

      I'm not much interested in this argument because I can't see what's riding on it. Suppose we do or do not prove equivalent levels of violence on both sides of the spectrum? What's that settle? Certainly not the relative validity of either end's political thought.

      This, 100%. Can’t we just denounce violence, when it happens and by whomever?

      Totally false. In the last 10 years, a more relevant metric since we're not talking about the Weathermen, Right Wing violence has been responsible for 74% of deaths from political violence, and left wing violence 2%."Diversity Enslaves" may not be reliable source.🤔

      How exactly are the Weathermen or the Sybianese Liberation Fromt relevent to anything happening today? I’m interested in what’s happening now, not before I was born.

      Replying to @MarkHoofnagle @cuttlefishink84 and

      Yep. Right wing violence eclipsed left wing violence in this country decades ago. Harping on it now is the same thing @GOP does when it harps on Democrats and the KKK in the 1920s and ignores everything that's happened since.
