Antifa vs Right Wing Violence?

Amazing was definitions will do to a subject you’re researching. :joy::joy:

You writing in hieroglyphs today? Eh, typical - skate the subject.

Title included:
yet right-wing extremists have killed 329 victims in the last 25 years, while antifa members haven’t killed any

The next sentence has this:
found only one person’s death in the last 25 years was linked to “antifa”

A couple sentences later:

  • When the label was broadened from anti-fascists to left-wing violence, it found 21 victims had been killed since 2010, compared to 117 in right-wing violence in the same time period.

This isn’t great journalism. At best, the numbers are confusing.

Viable. I wonder what they listed as left wing violence. Would be curious…though, pretty substantial narrative

I was gonna say the same thing. I mean, I think I believe the premise, that far right extremism is a bigger danger in this country than far left extremism, but this presentation is awful.

For one, antifa as people know it has only been around a few years, so don’t go comparing it to 25 years of opposition data.

And then when the metrics are broadened, why shorten the timespan from 25 years to 10 years? Is it because the comparison is less favorable? Which is a dumb move because you go back 25 years, you get to attribute the worst incident of US domestic terrorism to the right.

It goes back to the 80s man.

Both parties are leaning further and further apart. When this happens, violence and protests become more common as they are accepted. This is why a hedge on Crypto could be seen as a good gamble (assuming the US Government fails in some way over the next 4 years).

What I find interesting, this all shows that the church has lost some of it’s voice with the right. It will be very interesting to see if they continue to support Trump or turn away from him in the coming months and years.

The database mentioned in the article only goes back to 94. And the “left-wing” comparison strangely only goes back to 2010.

Ah, well those are their parameters, I guess. I think Antifa grew out of the post punk, ska type roots

Thus likely includes the OKC bombing which killed 168 of the 325. Not saying we should remove it, just that it has a massive impact on the scale of the issue. One person killed 168 in 1997.

In the scope, 9/11 was 10x worse than anything the left or right has done.

You don’t say! :joy::joy::joy:

Who the hell didn’t know this was your default already?

It’s ALSO reality’s default…short circuit
What was it you folks posted…Math doesn’t lie?

I’m starting to realize why your business isn’t as productive as you’d like it to be.

Nobody’s business is as productive as they’d like it to be. Everyone always wants to grow larger. But, you have no idea how my business is doing. From everything you’d written, you couldn’t run a lawn service company.

Sure I do. You told us! :joy::joy:

I execute 6 and 7 figure deals every day buddy. I’m what you call a top 5. Every organization I’ve ever worked. They beg me to stay. Rainmaker.

And in the process of starting my own business that will do half a mil a year by year 2.

But I’m a simple guy. I don’t really care about money. I just want enough so my kids don’t suffer.

Me - I’ll live under a bridge and thank god for the breath he keeps giving me.

Normally I don’t make it personal- but you are such a grotesquely rude person that you demand a slap down.

Now go back to your mediocre business.

I’m glad you’ve listened when I’ve repeatedly said that in the past. Do you want a cookie or something? I’ve been consistent with my opinion, which the evidence bears out. Feel free to introduce opposing evidence if you’re in the mood for an actual debate.

That’s one way to admit you’re a troll…

SO YOU ARE OUT OF THE CLOSET FINALLY JUNIOR?

YOU DROPPED THE ACT?

INTERESTING…

What act? Let me know when I’ve ever acted like left-wing radicals were more dangerous than right-wing radicals. I’ll wait with popcorn.

:rofl::joy::rofl:
