    Or if you read that story about how people rioted, burned down buildings, looted, attacked jews, etc… etc… etc… in portland… You never know how randomly violent /those/ people will be.

    Seriously, people are fucked on both sides, and the more I watch things, the more I believe that it’s the people left and right of center that are the psychos.

    The far right and left seem tame by comparison.

    It’s like the honorable Zap Branagan said. You can’t trust those neutrals.

        Well, people saying right is violently psycho, just pointing out that the left is just as bad.

          That’s fair. The far left certainly can be violent, as it was in the late 60s and early 70s --my parents were actually friends with SLA members in SF in the late 60s, though they themselves had nothing to do with it-- but it’s just a fact that far right violent extremists happen to be far more active in our current era.

          Various IC organizations have been saying this for at least the last 6 or 7 years, and events have proven them correct; while the far left is certainly guilty of violence against property, the far right has accrued a much higher body-count.
