Hasn't there been an explosion of violence from the radical left lately? Could someone tell me when the last incident of this sort of magnitude came from the radical right? I am not defending that orange buffoon, BTW.

Likewise what happened to Irina Zarutska was horrible. She was working late shift in a pizza parlour and had to catch the train at late at night. She was unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But that Charlie Kirk and trump made it about race was disgusting.


Mental illness is often at the bottom of these tragedies. Unfortunately, political opportunism is always ready to pounce. It is what it is.

It wasn't the radical left that murdered a Minnesota state representative and her husband earlier in the year. And the two who made attempts on Trump were right wing wackos like the guy who shot Kirk.

I see the DoJ just buried a report showing that almost 70% of political violence comes from the Right. A report that concurs with other researchers findings.

MSNBC reported on that earlier today.

I skim the news and no, there hasn't been an explosion of violence from left wingers.
There has been a lot of claims to that effect but I don't recall the stories that would back that up.
I have an unusually good memory for that sort of thing though I usually keep it secret as it make normal people nervous.

So, the orange baboon was telling porkies, again? Why am I not surprised?

Well, Tyler Robinson has been confirmed as a radicalised politically hard left person who was originally from a conservative background. The church killings, the Killing of the legislators, and the first Trump assassination attempt were initially seen as being from the political hard left but turned out to be indeterminate on the grounds of mental illness according to Copilot, apart from the second Trump wannabe assassin who turned out to be a Ukrainian supporter.

Well, there were those politicians shot in Minnesota and pretty sure that shooter was not a left winger, so there is that.

Left wing violence may not be as common (or reported) as right wing violence, that does not mean it isn't there though.

Plus I've seen plenty of online tankies who are always openly hoping for a violent overthrow of Western Civilization so that authoritarian communism can take over. These people really do exist even if the media is ignoring them .

I consulted Copilot that indicated mental illness might have had something to do with the slayings. This is despite the killer having, if memory serves me correctly, 70 Democrats on his list of intended victims.

There are at least 2 major countries that have been medalling in the American affairs with the intention of destabilising its social fabric. I saw a nice meme of this recently.

Is that verified that he went from hard right to hard left? If that's determined solely by his choice of loving a trans woman, then it should be pointed out that the accused shooter was enamored by right wing fanatic Nick Fuentes, a self described incel who is said to get his rocks off watching trans porn. Sexuality hardly defines one's politics, as it has been thought to have for years.

Russia and Iran? Maybe China?

Of course that doesn't mean it isn't there, but there have been more violent attacks from right wing extremists then left wing extremists.

That said I don't like tankies, they're stuck in their little Marxist bubble falling for the same thing as MAGA, treating a figurehead as a god. Marx had some good ideas, but he was a little too stuck on the violent revolution and forcing the end goal of communism, but tankies act like you're not a 'real' socialist if you criticize marx or dare encourage them to vote. So yeah, they're a little too authoritarian for my taste as a Democratic Socialist.
