"The real threat of violence comes from the right. The Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism reports that right-wingers and white supremacists were responsible for 74 percent of the murders committed by political extremists in the United States over the past decade. Only 2 percent were committed by left-wing radicals."

"“A Quartz analysis of the database shows that almost two-thirds of terror attacks in the (United States) last year were tied to racist, anti-Muslim, homophobic, anti-Semitic, fascist, anti-government, or xenophobic motivations,” its posting says."

And here's the Quartz story itself: https://qz.com/1435885/data-shows-mo...us-extremists/

The poster child for this false narrative is antifa, a small, weak organization that protests white supremacist aggression.

What a joke. Seriously stop getting your so called news from Washington Post.

I think Acosta was being annoying and grandstanding, but I also think he had a legitimate question at the core, about why Trump was so invested in depicting a migrant caravan as an invasion.

Jim Acosta wasn't asking a question, he was trying to debate Trump. A real journalist, of which Acosta isn't, would have said something like "What are your thoughts about people saying your description about the caravan is wrong?" Even that's not real journalism either but at least it looks like a legitimate question.

Acosta stands up and says "This is not an invasion, why are you calling it an invasion." This is not how a journalist asks a question, it's how an activist asks a question. You're so blinded by your partisan politics you don't even know which way is up anymore.

These are the full definitions:

Left-wing extremism
Violence in support of a revolutionary socialist agenda and the view that one is a protector of the populace.
Characterized by disdain for capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism, and by a Marxist political focus and procommunist/socialist
beliefs, or support for a decentralized, non-hierarchical sociopolitical system (e.g., anarchism).

Right-wing extremism
Violence in support of the belief that personal and/or national way of life is under attack and is either already lost or
that the threat is imminent. Characterized by anti-globalism, racial or ethnic supremacy or nationalism, suspicion of
centralized federal authority, reverence for individual liberty, and/or belief in conspiracy theories that involve grave
threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.

You're fucking kidding me, right? So ANY political racial violence is automatically considered right wing extremism? Even that black church that was set on fire by a black man that tried to make it look like a white Trump supporter set the fire?

And left wing extremism is just "disdain" for capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism?

What an absolute complete joke. Where do you find these articles?

Here's the full study: https://www.start.umd.edu/pubs/START...US_Nov2017.pdf

Anti-Police extremists:
Total attacks: 6
Total deaths: 8

Wait a minute! Why isn't this classified under left wing extremism?

Anti-White extremists:
Total Attacks: 3
Total Deaths: 5

Why isn't this classified under left wing extremism? So if white supremacists attack someone it's considered a far right attack, but if Muslims and black supremacists attack someone it's not considered a far left attack?

Well isn't that special? Stop rotting your brain.

Great. I guess that means you're free to push for changes that kill off the other 99.9% of kids with cancer who aren't affected at all by your donations to St Jude.

It's true, 99.99% of children with cancer died prior to 2010.

[Tgo01]

I mean, why else would there still be kids dying from lack of treatment?

Holy shit, I just noticed this entry:

Anti-Trump extremists:
Total Attacks: 1
Total Deaths: 0

There has been a grand total of ONE attack by Anti-Trump extremists? Get this shit the fuck out of here.

If you want a real answer it's because not all anti-police groups are left wing. You know about Sovereign Citizens/Free Men On The Land? They are extremely dangerous anti-government nutjobs that sometimes kill officers when they get pulled over. There's a 'black version' of them too, Moorish separatists.

Okay so why does white extremists get classified as far right but anti-white extremists doesn't get classified as far left?

Almost like this organization is pushing an agenda.
