The leader of a conservative think tank claims that most recent political violence in the U.S. has been caused by left-wing extremists, but the data paints a different picture.
If the Left perpetrated violence the way the Right says we do, we’d have executed most of their leaders by now.
I’m anti-violence, fwiw. It’s one of the reasons I believe we’re gonna lose in the longterm. We have fucking morality and ethics to contend with and they just lie and cheat openly and shamelessly.
Not true. Groups that are made up of altruistic individuals who work together are more successful than groups made up of individuals out for themselves. That’s part of the reason why democracy has prevailed over monarchy and despotism.

But it prevailed through … checks notes… violence.
Not just violence, ultra-violence. All rights are won through violence.
