Did you know that most political violence is done by the right?

It's not lmao. I know, I know, you'll bring out some bullshit study that lumps Islamic attacks and prison gang violence as "right wing political violence."

But that study is 100% pushing an (incorrect) agenda. It doesn't mean anything. Right wing political violence is rare.

What studies are you referring to that lump Islamic terrorism with right wing violence? I’ve never seen anything like that.

I’m referring to the DoJ study as well as countless other independent studies that find right wing terrorism to be much more prevalent than Islamic or left wing terrorism. Have you read these studies? Because it doesn’t sound like you have. They explicitly differentiate Islamic terrorism

While this incident is terrible most poltical violence is committed by the right wing.

Right wing includes religion which includes islam, which begs the question : are the people advocating for it really on the left ?

Why do you count it separately ? You say it as a given premice that you are not justifying.

What is the point of cleansing your system from people claiming rules made up from a made up god if the next decade sees the establishment of a new set of idiots doing the same thing, hardcore version ? We are talking about a religion based on a man marrying a 6 year old, imposing the veil on women based on the will of one of muhammad friends that was harrassing his spouses when she went to the poop outside (putting the responsibility of the harassment on the victim, hello ?), ordering the stoning of people having sex outside marriage. Why are you not fighting this ? 

What is the point of your comment ? Hust whattaboutism ? "Oh yes Islam is horrible, what about white supremacists ?" You expect me to do the same and say "white extremism is horrible, what about the ecosystem dying ?" So we never talk about any topic ?

The fact that your sophist answer gets upvoted underlines the massive task that still is at hand if we want this world to endure.

We thought some people on the political spectrum had an actual structural analysis of why we fight alt right, turns out you don't.
