(+) Yeah! (+)

The populists.

You didn't list political parties so I didn't either.

Czarnians.

The Buffalo Wing

The West Wing. one call and baby we're in ww5

(because ww5 is so intense it skips over the other two)

one did a thing and the other didnt do a thing

They are both idiotic extremists who are too dumb to follow logic. Slaves to media.

The Right wing: George Bush, Stephen Colbert (the character), Abraham Lincoln

The Left wing: Malcolm X, Stalin, Genghis Khan

Hm, tough comparison

Limiting this to America and modern times, which has more domestic terrorist groups and spree killers?

What if there was an oddball situation where you have an authoritiarian leftist Vs. an anarchist rightoid?

Wing-mounted weapons tend to be symmetrical to avoid creating balance issues.

Zero Wing

All Your Base Are Belong To Us

lulz

If we're talking about the modern (post-Cold War) era and the English-speaking world, it's right-wing, and by a lot. Right-wing extremists kill more people than all other forms of extremists (left wing, environmental, apolitical religious, etc.) *combined*.

If we include other areas and eras of history, it becomes much more difficult to quantify, as there have been plenty of extremely violent extremist/militia groups associated with the left and the right throughout the world.

The right, and it's not even close.

Another classic Bligh post

There is statistically more right wing violence.

Also stop calling Stalin left wing. He's a textbook fascist. There are people in the dsa that are tankies, these guys are red fascists. They don't know what they're talking about.

Ya, you have to think of the context of the era... Stalin was left wing, compared to HITLER, but was still also far far FAR to the right.

Going by body count, the right wing easily (in the US at least)

Left wing is going to torch down cities because of police brutality, the right wing is going to have lone gunmen, inspired by internet communities to shoot up LGBTQ clubs and storm the capital building.

The left seems to do more property damage, the right seems to do more actual killing.

(this is my observation which may actually be complete bullshit)

between thinking cops are worse than criminals running amok and murdering people you disagree with id say both sides are equally culpable for the breakdown of a civil society

More or less. Chaos happens at the protests despite peoples efforts to keep it peaceful while the right keeps defending the mass murderers as "lone wolfs"

Most of the property damage done during 'riots' over police brutality is committed by random assholes who show up to just take advantage of the chaos and have no stake in the political motivation behind the original protesting.

Indeed. It's largely impossible to pin down the exact proportion and I'm not about to suggest that there were no actual vandals or violent protesters that legitimately aligned themselves with BLM, but a substantial portion of the violence was just opportunistic troublemakers taking advantage of the chaos, and I expect there were also quite a few false flag actors trying to stir things up to discredit the movement (including quite a few police, given that there have been documented cases of police doing things like hauling in pallets of bricks to protest sites before the crowd arrived). Even then, well over 90% of the protests were still totally peaceful, so the "BLM are violent terrorists!" narrative is obviously nonsense.

I remember in China or somewhere there was some protest going on and the cops put out brick pallets and the protestors made little castles out of them lol

People need to stop being led astray by demagogues and fear mongers and look at the bigger picture.

that was in America wasn't it

i remember some protest happening here and people posting images asking people to leave the mysterious brick pallettes that were everywhere despite there being no construction anywhere, alone.

Should show up to protests with a big ol' bucket of mortar and just bukkake the whole pallet with it to make sure they all stick together and can't be used for nefarious misdeeds.
