You are being disingenuous! You know full well what I was talking about!
Here lets me quote for you what I was talking about -- "For every incompetent moron you cite on the right you actively ignore three from the left. "

But that is OK!! Deflection is the name of the game!

Here are a couple of strains of anarchism that aren't.

Anarcho-capitalism is predicated on an economic system of free markets, property, and the rule of law.

None of those are "leftist." Considering the left is generally in favor of more government intervention.

As far as spraying shit like pepper spray in random people, throwing piss bottle bombs, and hitting random people with bike locks - Hate to break it to you but the crazy nut lefties take the cake there.

Yeah, because all the 'crazy nut lefties' in the video were doing all that while they were getting pepper-sprayed by the MAGA... oh wait, no they weren't.. they were just protesting peacefully, exercising their right to free speech, when the MAGAs attacked them.

I don't hate to break it you, but you're the one doing the active ignoring here, just so you could get an opportunity to SUPPORT right wing violence.

And here's another poster supporting violence using the child's logic of 'he hit me first!' Even though the people in your picture have no political affiliation whatsoever with the people who were pepper-sprayed in the OP, except in your broadbrushed black and white fantasy world.

You serious? You wanna go dig out stats on right vs left terrorism? I won't because I'm sure you've seen it posted on this forum before.

Or do you just mean stuff that actually kills someone, cause the righties are winning that one too.

I absolutely won't advocate for violence on either side but don't make it seem like the "left" are somehow more violent because facts say otherwise.

Why is there an actual epidemic of fanatic Trump supporters actually murdering real life Americans on our streets, for the self-professed glory of Trump? Your anecdotes are statistical noise in the ocean of real, documented, murders and violence that sits squarely on the hands of Trump and the GOP.

It isn't even close. This isn't a debate. It's the real true facts that we all deal with. Why is your anecdote somehow just as valid as the hundreds murdered by Trump supporters to date?

They should get violent. Anyone with a maga hate needs to get beat up. They represent hate and torture. They need to get a little taste of it.

This is stupid and wrong, and exactly the same 'logic' that Luna is using. Which is that all of 'them' are violent and oppressive, and all the same, and are a threat, and thus any violence against any one of 'them' can be justified by violence committed by any of 'them.'
This is wrong.

umm all my "logic" is trying to point out is that the Left has been on a rampage with violence for a few years. when other people try to call out as a violence they get shut down and shamed by other people on this board. there are many videos of the left pepper spraying people and not a peep from the people on here condemning it but have one incident where a Rightie uses pepper spray this board melts. so tell me why is that?

for the record, i abhor violence in all manner especially when one group is using it to suppress the free speech of another.

You reap what you sow. To some people the fact that you support locking up brown babies is enough to beat you into a coma.

You don't abhor the violence of tearing children from their parents and caging them.

and not the left? none at all? Rep. Steve Scalise and three others might have a problem with your words.

Because your view on this is contrary to objective reality. Get out of your bubble, and you'll see that 'righties' have committed many violent political acts in recent years, up to and including mass murder. To claim that there has been only this one incident is just ridiculous.
More to the point, you (and some other posters) are using this "sides" angle to justify and support violence, and not to condemn it. You're saying, it's ok that this 'Rightie' used pepper spray because 'the left'... whatever. That too is wrong.
If you're going to condemn violence, then you have to condemn all violence. To condemn it on one fantasy side while justifying it on the other is just hypocrisy.
