      Every time I say this, "both sides" freak out but it doesn't make it any less true: Liberals and leftists who fixate endlessly on an exaggerated threat of "Nazis" are the mirror image of right-wingers who fixate endlessly on the exaggerated threat of "Radical Islamic Terror"

      Yeah, I'm aware that one person died in Charlottesville in August 2017. Two months later, eight people died in Manhattan as a result of a "radical Islamic terror" attack. Inflating the threat posed by EITHER phenomenon because it flatters your sense of moral grandiosity is inane

      so the multiple mass shootings in synagogues and mosques that have happened since then just don't factor into your analysis of this whatsoever?

      Are you aware of the multiple mass shootings and attacks carried out by "radical Islamic terrorists" in the past few years? No, unlike you presumably, I don't think those isolated attacks ought to be extrapolated into an exaggerated, all-consuming "threat"

      November 2017: eight dead in Manhattan truck attack June 2016: 49 dead in Orlando mass shooting December 2015: 14 dead in San Bernardino mass shooting There's a couple. If you want to extrapolate that into a massive, scary threat posed by Radical Islamic Terror, be my guest

      the last incident you're citing is from 2 years ago. If such incidents were occurring with increasing regularity/severity, as attacks from white nationalists are, yes I would consider it a threat. this isn't the case though

      You asked me for examples "in the past few years" and I provided them to you. There are more. I'm not for inflating the threat of terrorism in general, sorry if you disagree

      cool, so how many more people need to die before you starting thinking it's a serious problem. Is there a specific number

      I don't have a set number, but whenever the threat becomes more than infinitesimal relative to other threats. You guys sound like Dick Cheney hyping the threat of Islamic terrorism in the early 2000s

          I'm not advocating bombing/invading a foreign country and commiting mass murder & torture Michael, so I don't know about that comparison

          This red-brown alliance thing you've pivoted to, presumably to advance your career, is really disgusting and dangerous.

          So, how do you evaluate the threat if you are undocumented? Or an environmental activist? Or just POC? Do you follow what is happening with ICE?

          Leftists who inflate the threat of far right violence might regret it when they are inevitably censored by tech companies. It's already happening to the 🇵🇸 solidarity movement. Anti-war and anti-Wall Street crackdowns are inevitable.
