i don't agree with the outlook and am optimistic about unification - I do agree that the left is quick to point violence at the right, and are themselves often violent nice read tho

@molo
can you think of specific (e.g. named, not general events either unknown perpetrators) people on the left who committed violent acts? Im able to come up with many examples on the right but none on the left. I don’t feel the two sides are remotely balanced in this but could just be missing things.

bro just tried to assasinate the presidential candidate of the republican party, who was fully exposed after some other goofy stuff like changing the new york law temporarily to prosecute him i’m thinking of the things like actors/politicians encouraging harm (i.e against trump cuz evil), protests and riots that turn destructive, and i guess this stuff https://www.counterextremism.com/content/far-left-extremist-groups-united-states https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/feb/23/claudia-tenney/do-many-mass-shooters-end-being-democrats-rep-tenn/ though literally in the area this happened (where i’m from), the only mass shooter ik of was also democratic/lgbt. i don’t blame the party as i do the mentally unstable, but it feels they’ve encouraged this the whole time https://x.com/trobinsonnewera/status/1812285352968593541?s=46
