Since apparently this right-wingers on this hellsite have either forgotten that right-wing terrorism is a thing that still occurs to this day, or they willfully choose to ignore that fact, I chose to provide a little reference sheet so-to-speak. You know, of right-wing terrorism, of right-wing suppression of free speech, of vapid, inane, and violent bullshit spouted as they try to say “The Left is crazy” with shit like this:
1. Islamic terrorism is right-wing Conservative Terrorism
This really, really isn’t up for debate. Any actual look at what Islamic terrorism is and pushes for will throw this in your face.
It is a terrorist movement to instill traditional, religious values in a society. it seeks the enforcement of a millenia-old book of morals not because they independently agree with those morals and found something that parrots them (like liberals who find a secular rationale to agree with Jesus), but rather “Because Allah said so.”
All of the Islamic terrorism in the world, ISIL and Al-Qaeda and San Bernadino belong squarely on the right side of the political spectrum. This is basic political analysis, based largely on strict adherence to political texts and a denial of religious pluralism.
Since I have no doubt somebody is going to shout obscenities at me for “lying about leftist islam”, here are 3differentsources on the politics of Islam.
(Oh look, here come the Genetic Fallacy believers!) But let’sentirely rule out a large portion of right-wing violence going forward.
2. Right-Wing Institutions and Colleges deny Left-Wing Speakers just as frequently as Left-Wing institutions deny Right-Wingers.
The simplest way to measure this? Disinvitation from events and discussions, line panels or commencements or talks. These are all instances where a person was sought out to come to an event, invited, and then someone along the line took issue with them as people and their political stances. Them taking issue with these stances then ends the invitation process, and the speaker ultimately gets no-platformed for their political opinion.
Right now, the best people at tracking these (and similar issues on campus) would be F.I.R.E., the Foundation for individual Rights in Education. Browse through their articles and you’ll find them fantastic. They’re non-biased and come out strongly against all attempts at censorship in colleges across America, including Berkeley and Harvard both.
They’ve got a full database of all reported disinvitations from colleges across the country. It lists reported controversial speakers, the college where the controversy occurred, and whether or not the disinvitation attempt was successful. You’ll find that liberal colleges attempt to disinvite speakers slightly more often, and that conservative colleges are a bit more succesful when they try to disinvite someone.
You know that Milo gets disinvited from colleges and protested, but so does Ana Kasparian fromt TYT.
So, which is worse, being slightly more likely to try to disinvite someone, or having more power to actually disinvite someone? Because they’re both making roughly the same amount of attempts.
3. Right-Wingers and Conservatives use violence over words plenty in domestic policies they dislike. And it’s only getting more common.
Let’s ignore the right-wing Islamic violence for now and just focus on domestic policies.
Let’s get the elephant out of the room and just state, for the record, the incredible amount of violence associated with the anti-abortion arm of the Right. This is where I could post a shitload of pictures of burnt-out buildings, exploded cars, dead bodies, but i’ll sum it up in one benign picture from an anti-abortion protest.
This has been a decades-old problem. And I immediately know that people are going to say “oh, it’s going down! From 7 down to 3″ except it’s actually going up again (re: previous citations).
A 52-year-old industrial mechanic who was the first person in the U.S. convicted of trying to produce a weapon of mass destruction under a 2004 law intended to stop terrorists from using radiation-dispersing “dirty bombs” was sentenced Monday to 30 years in prison followed by a lifetime of supervised release. Glendon Scott Crawford, of Galway in upstate New York, planned to kill Muslims because of their religion as well as other people whose political and social beliefs he disagreed with, U.S. Attorney Richard Hartunian said.
This was TWO MONTHS AGO
3.5 While republican administrations and governments entirely ignore right-wing extremist violence
4. Fear Mongering about Nazis, and all of its inglory.
I mean, are people seriously trying to say “Leftists try to stir up fear and over-reaction over everything!” as if it’s something new, something unseen before? Even off the top of my fucking head this is laughable.
I don’t need to go in-depth about crazy, radical-leftists. There are plenty of people who are more than eagerly doing so. But you can stop being personally affronted and amazed that anyone could be radical and violent, and how “those leftists are dangerous to society.”
Fuck your confirmation bias.
2018 Update
It’s been a while so I decided this needed to update how fucked-up the Right-Wing is right now. Especially with the news going around today.
5. Current Right-Wing Political Assassination attempts and violence
My mother…she called me at 10:15 EST as I was walking into work. I could hear CNN on in the background; she was crying because in the past 48 hours we’ve now had four separate attempted assassinations.
People have asked me recently, or pointed out, that I seem to be especially short-tempered and combative when dealing with people who are “not as far left as me.”
That’s simply not true.
I’ve lost patience for the people to the right of me who have divorced themselves from reality and facts. If you want to have an actual discussion I will literally find the wayne’s world “we’re not worthy” gif and thank you for it.
If you think mobs of left-wingers and left-wing terrorism is a real threat to America in 2018, you’re wrong. If you still think that after you actually look at the research and statistics and literal crime rates, you’re a jackass. If you still think that after seeing “Intellectual Darkweb”, Mainstream, and elected right-wing politicians openly calling for violence, fuck you. Full Stop.
If you think that the left-wing wants an “end to Due Process” because they explicitly wanted a deeper investigation into Justice Kavanaugh you have fully and completely given your brain over to propagandists. That shit isn’t even internally consistent.
If you’re going to sit there and somehow say that the holocaust Surviving anti-communist uber-capitalist Hedge Fund Manager George Soros is somehow a secret nazi-sympathizer globalist socialist revolutionary, when he literally poured $18 billion dollars into fighting for capitalism and democracy, I’m done with you.
