      This is not the Violence Olympics. It's wrong whoever does it. There is an "immoral equivalence" between the Far Left & the Far Right inasmuch as both practice violence to achieve political ends, and that is wrong. Rinse, lather, repeat.https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1147876707745054720 …

      That's the fascist MO. Be the aggressor and try to provoke your enemy into attacking first. If successful, beat the shit out of them and claim "self-defense." Rinse, lather, repeat. It's sad that Mr. Shermer seems so blind to this simple, well-documented fact.

      Straw man. No one said it is. However, your obsession with left wing political violence to the exclusion of right wing political violence, which by any reasonable measure is a far greater problem, promotes a false narrative in which the left comes across as uniquely violent.

          It's sad to see Mr. Shermer unwittingly assisting right wing propagandists by uncritically repeating their message portraying the left as a more violent threat.

          And this is why the paradox of tolerance was described - specifically for fascists, who don’t actually care about maintaining a tolerant society. They will still glibly use the rules of tolerant societies against resistance, with the goal to ultimately destroy tolerant society.

          That not how the strawman fallacy works. It is when you set up a caricature of your opponents argent knowing you can refute the strawman, instead of the real thing. Just saying "that's not how it works" isnt enough. You have to show HOW it is just a poor copy of the truth

          Hw even just finished telling you that he previously focused on right wing violence & is now focusing on the left, so for you to now claim he is ONLY focusing on left which is promoting a false narrative means people can NEVER focus on one thing. THAT is a strawman

          Centrists: whilst he did plan on putting you in a cage for extermination, and had grabbed you by the hair and assaulted you to put you in there, you knee'd him in the crotch before you ran away, which is just as bad.

          Criticism of the Left is not defense of the Right.Plenty of people are criticizing the Right.The Left has abandoned rational thinking for ideological zealotry.There is a high cost to that - one being 4 more years of Trump.

          What right wing political violence? I honestly can’t think of examples. Charlottesville became violent but all that was planned was a march. OTOH Antifa plans attacks on people they don’t like all the time. Much bigger prob on left right now.

          You would have to be stupid or lying to make that claim.
