Unlike when the fascists stormed the seat of the US government and the cops let them in because the white supremacists have infiltrated the police so they support their own.

No, most people weren't pointing out what the police should've done differently. They were either staying completely silent on the numerous instances of arson, vandalism, theft and murder committed by the rioters, or were actively cheering them on.

I don't like Mike Pence in the least, but there were people outright looking for him to try to murder him. They were looking for other government officials announcing their intent to harm them too.

But hey, let's pretend the worst the people who attacked the seat of the US government did was just stealing Nancy Pelosi's laptop and smearing literal shit on the walls.

And yet the same people who were shrieking bloody murder about the storming of the capitol were completely silent on - or were actively encouraging - the BLM riots.

Again, BLM is mostly peaceful

Agreed. But the protestors in DC were mostly peaceful as well. It is a loud minority of each group that caused the trouble.

You are aware that IS possible for a person to condemn police brutality AND riot, arson and vandalism? Or is one of the side effects of the “red pill” makes one unable to be aware of this?

No I'm saying it's odd the riot at the Capitol started before the President was done speaking at the White House. I'm saying it happened as Both chambers were about to start descussing Arizona's election.

People voting from invalid Address, Dead voters, and unmonitored counting of votes is more than enough to make people question the legitimacy of an election. If everyone else is ruining the game clean but the swing states aren't we have a problem.

Just look at my home state. We just got our voting loopholes fixed and the Democrats and the media slander us as a bunch of racists for requiring a voter ID. Took millions of economic investment from one of the blackest cities in the country and moved it to one of the Whites of cities.


And how prevalent were "People voting from invalid Address, Dead voters, and unmonitored counting of votes"?

What kinds of right wingers are we talking about here? Give me a set of ideologies and where they are on the political compass. Lots of right wing values are incompatible with or contradictory to each other, like right-libertarianism and right-wing fascism. To get accurate results, you can’t have authoritarian ideologies and libertarian ideologies intermingling.

I’d like to see left wingers do the same thing with their dumbass social justice socialism. Of course, we would have to separate the authoritarian left and the “libertarian” left for the sake of getting accurate scientific results. I agree with conducting experiments with all quadrants of the political compass, with our society as it stands now being the control group.

There was one right-wing riot in DC, there were numerous left-wing riots in various cities over the summer. That seems relevant to which wing causes more terrorism.

I wonder how many times it will be relevant to point out that 97% of the BLM protests were peaceful in this thread.

100% of right-wing demonstrations were violent. Great statistics there.


p.s. it's not like it's leftists making this claim, CSIS published a data-based report demonstrating that right-wing terrorism is a bigger issue.

As I said earlier, that is dependant on what one defines as terrorist attacks. If any incidence of violence to promote a political point is terrorism, then at least half of the bar fights in the US would count. If it requires an organized plot intended to overthrow the government and replace it with another form, then I doubt we've had one in years.

So a police officer somewhere murders a person of color. That means all cops deserve to die? This is why deadly use of force happens. Police officers work a job where any day they could be killed. You're a miserable keyboard warrior who will never understand what that's like.
