      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.

      It isn't about winning an argument, it's about preventing your country from falling to fascism, which with concentration camps for kids, I'd suggest we are in significant danger of if not already there. One of the goals of fascists is to cast resisters as dangerous.

      This then is used to justify further violence and suppression of rights. The truth is important and the truth is left wing violence is a tiny fraction of the right's. This is a propaganda war. https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/08/17/are-antifa-and-the-alt-right-equally-violent/ …

      That whole comparison is a whataboutism. It doesn't matter how awful those other people are. We have laws. The ones that prohibit political violence are good ones. They say we lock those violent people in cages. That's the proper way to deal with violent white supremacists.

      This works great until the people in power are violent white supremacists.

      Is that your premise? Some conspiracy theory about a racist occupation government? We ought to get right into that if it is what you're saying. If not, if you'll grant that such people have held power in the US and no longer do, then we can talk about what has & hasn't helped.

      I don’t think the kiddy concentration camps are a conspiracy theory. They exist. Our leader currently is a white supremacist, and notably has encouraged violent white supremacy in speech and in policy.

      OK let's go down this road. Are these camps run in a Fascistic manner? - Are people being taken from their homes and put there? - Are they put there for political affiliations? Or those of their family members? - Are they being exploited for labor? - Are they being executed?
