No. That’s not a fact. Please provide sources that backup your claim. Antifa have been very violent.
They have also stated in multiple cases that their purpose is to silent right-wing speakers through violence and threats of such, which undeniably amounts to terrorism. And I lived in Berkeley when that was happening there.

Extremism includes terrorism. So you can't prove it, got it.
What does extremism including terrorism have to do with anything? That only makes sense if it's the other way around.

Extremism leads to violence and terrorism. Is it seriously that hard to understand?
 
"Hate speech" is saying things a particular side doesnt like. Saying there is no pay gap is considered "hate speech" to some. Or putting Jesus in a pickle jar of piss. Or kneeling during the anthem. Or saying illegal immigration is a strain on our social programs etc etc etc... It's ALL about who runs the platform and decides what is "hate". Hence, the idea that "hate" speech is wholly relative. Sure, we can all agree ISIS is garbage. But apparently it's not garbage to call Jews as termites or call for their extermination from "river to sea".

Everything is relative to our own perspectives and Tim Cook's perspective is vastly different from others. Is white supremacy stupid? God yes. Is providing a platform about beating women and treating them as hos also stupid? Holy **** it's not even a debate... Thats why there is people who don't want platforms dictating their own form of "speech".

Marketplace of ideas/overton window is slowly becoming a peep hole dictated by few.
 
I can tell from the replies who hates Muslims, non Christians , immigrants, other minorities, women not in kitchens, women who like to have a choice and people who don’t want to be discriminated for their life and the poor and those in need
Really? This is about as intellectually honest as saying the Earth is flat. :rolleyes:

I wish I didn't have to explain this. You were talking about a comparison between the numbers of left and right extremists. Comparing the sizes of a subset of each doesn't do that. Even if you leave out Antifa and say there's more right-wing terrorism, there's way more left-wing extremism in other forms, enough to easily give them the greater number.

Edit: Another thing necessary to understand is that not all extremists become terrorists.
 
Don’t you go hitting them with facts. If violence is in a liberal’s favor, it’s not violence, it’s called protesting. :rolleyes:
It's going to be interesting to see the reactions to the violent protests in France. Already NBC has given it the headline "violence, destruction," etc, while they always called the very similar riots here something else. Because the violence there is the right, or more precisely those against the French socialism.

PROVE IT. I never compared the sizes of each group. I merely provided evidence that right extremism has lead to more violence and death than left wing extremism. I'm waiting to be proved wrong here.

As Professor Jordan Peterson warns,

Who defines hate? The crucial issue. It's not like it's a scientific category. It's a judgement. And the answer is...those whom you least want to have the power to define it

I never refuted that, but it's also not what you originally said. I'm pretty sure there have been more *deaths* caused by right-wing extremists. Antifa, for one, is smart enough not to kill anyone so they don't get shot themselves.
 
Hate speech was what the Chinese and Soviets were against back in the day, or at least that’s what they claimed.

Already sold my Apple stock, thanks for the ride and college fund contribution.
 
Violence is violence no matter how you want to spin it.
Agreed. Imagine how the media would react if white conservatives were walking into restaurants and harassing prominent liberals? They would be calling these people members of hate groups, etc, but there was no outrage because the left is completely blinded by a sickening level of vitriol towards Trump and Conservatism. I’m no Trump fan but the fact he’s been so disruptive to Washington means he’s done something right. After all, decades of being sold out to the Republican and Democratic establishments has given us the America we have today. And we only got Trump because we had a disastrous 8 years of Obama. America loves radical political shifts.
 
Just goes to show how out of touch Tim Cook and Apple are. "hate speech" is nonsense. How about all the anti-white and anti-men speech that the Left continuously spew out, all over social media, films and TV? Selective outrage. Shameful.

Get woke, go broke.

You literally sound like every Trump supporter. Disastrous? In what way? You mean the economic boom that Trump is riding and taking credit for?
 
So them being anti gun and abolishing the right of citizens to keep arms... who does that remind you of?

When they socialized healthcare, which of our parties is for that?

And snopes, is a joke. Might as well quote huffpo. They have been caught lying many times, they are raging liberals.


It reminds me things we should do as a nation. We are far better off with no gun on the street, single payer healthcare, women made the decision for their body...Right wing never stops amaze me.
