"The left condones assassinations but it's the right that's on the wrong path."

I'm guessing the author is part of those "young democrats". Especially considering half the article is devoted to the hate-mongers from the SPLC.

I've brought this up before but the radicalized soy boy isn't a threat people should outright dismiss just because they're fags. The "experts" will of course because they're political hacks, but does anyone seriously believe that the media isn't instilling bloodthirsty hatred in their viewers towards people progs consider outgroups? They're no match against real men but commies don't exactly have a peaceful history.

The retard who shot up a congressional softball game was a radicalized soyboy.

Yeah I was just thinking about him. Interesting how they didn't spend the next several weeks blaming Bernie Sanders for that one and "wanting to have a conversation" about violent commies.

I heard this point stated just today, and it was well said. Sure, they're weaker and more pathetic than us, on average, by a fairly significant margin. But they're driven. It's Antifa that's out there basically getting into street battles with the police. They're the ones who are willing to get dirty. Doesn't matter how weak they are individually, if they actually decided to mobilize in a big way, and go after "evil right-wingers" they could do a hell of a lot of damage. They're pathetic and living memes, but they're often strong (if misguided) in their convictions, to the point where they will fully believe violence is justified. It's the mindset that's dangerous, not their physicality or training. They're fanatics; if they ever get activated on any sort of scale, they're certainly a real threat, because they'll be willing to do what - in their eyes - needs to be done.

What we largely saw during the "summer of love" was that the police were often ordered to ignore them up until they started trying to burn down a federal courthouse, the media applauded them or outright suggested more targets for destruction, and on the off chance they actually managed to get arrested, they would get their bail paid by some leftist organization and it's not unlikely the DA would decline to prosecute. If the right enjoyed that level of support, maybe they'd be on the streets, too. But I agree that the essentially mainstream belief on the left that "Everyone who doesn't agree with you is a nazi and violence against nazis is justified" is also a factor in mobilizing them.

It's easy to be willing to get dirty when you have the backing of the state and the media. When conservatives do even 10% of the damage of your average Antifa riot they get the book thrown at them. Antifa gets treated with kid gloves.

And they'll fight dirty to compensate. They'll go after soft targets, schools in conservative areas, sporting events, off guard cops eating a sandwich in their squad car, etc. Elderly, kids, women. That's how they are already.

Oh, they're absolutely a threat.

You must have seen that over the past few years.

They'll operate in packs to mitigate the qualitative disadvantage they're operating under, and if they're operating on friendly territory, they'll surround the mark, in the knowledge that if the dude does defend himself, he'll never be let out of jail.

Any attackers that beat or even kill the guy, if they are ever found, will be released due to some technical mistake with their paperwork.

That's assuming they don't manage to pop up another CHAZ and just go on a quiet purge in between raping residents, of course.

Part of me believes that if anyone got close enough and shot a major political figure, the game would be up. They would either be revealed to be a hologram or start spurting green blood or something along those lines.

I don't remember where I heard it, and I don't know if it's true, but supposedly in antiquity there was a civilization where judges when they overturned a ruling did so in the public square with a rope around their neck. The idea being that you don't overturn precedent unless the public really wants you to.

Point being, history provides us with many interesting ways of completing this sort of ruler/ruled feedback loop that for some reason we consider ourselves too "civilized" to use. Which ultimately leaves us with no feedback loop at all except "burn the whole thing down and start over". Interesting how that works.

I forget where I read it, but there's a cycle with governments. It wasn't Plato but I think some other Greek or Roman political theorist. It goes monarchy -> oligarchy -> democracy-> repeat.

Monarch calls the shots, he gets replaced by the elite, their rule devolves into demagoguery and mob rule, and then the inevitable chaos causes a strong-man to step in and bring monarchy back and the cycle begins anew. Saw that cycle and I see it a lot now. Course iirc it was more descriptive than prescriptive so go figure

Young Democrats were particularly inclined to believe the demographic changes are being orchestrated by liberal leaders for political power.

Young Democrats be like: I know they are. Joe Biden invited me here.

The Social Justice Racket promotes and facilitates the industrial scale psychological abuse of people. They are crafting environments that incentivizes people to adopt pathological behaviors so that they can be exploited by predators who they orbit around. The pathological nihilism, individuation, perpetual stress and fear conditioning, rejection of stoicism, emphasis on catastrophization, the cultural lyncherdom, have all generated a Leftist society that promotes the mentality of school shooters.

The Left think like school shooters; and that should be thrown in their face every time they claim something about guns or shootings. "You're not upset about what happened. You're upset that you didn't get credit for it, and that he didn't target the people you wanted to kill. You are not now, and never have been, a good person. You don't even know how to be good."

The resentment mongering and pathological nihilism promotes revenge fantasies among people who are too weak, cowardly, and confused to actually step away from the culture that is poisoning them, and instead assumes all society must be as worthless, degenerate, malicious, hateful, and cruel as the one they are living in... so anyone who denies that they live in one should be harmed until they admit that the shooter is correct about the world.

It's literally the shit the Joker was doing with Batman. He needs to prove that the world and people are as bad as he says they are, and if they are not, then he'll fucking make it be like that because he's asserting that his view of the world is the one that's true.

This violent revenge fantasy of murdering those in society who the Left has conditioned people to hate should surprise no one. Frankly, I think the SPLC is desperately trying to downplay the problem of the acceptance of political violence on the Left. 48% is far too low. Not only were the 155 consecutive days of race riots in 2020 accepted by everyone on the Left as necessary, along with the very concept of rioting being inherently just; but we can also look at Canada's Red Terror of 2021 for all the Catholic Churches that were burned, and the open support among "Civil Rights Groups" for the mass burnings.

The support for political violence against the right, including assassination is likely well over 60% among all Left-wing groups, particularly Democratic men. There can't be any other options when your mentally torture people the way the Left does.

Isn't any percent "distressingly high"?

Apathy being high, I can understand. Even reasonably accept, since there's very solidly diverging viewpoints. But outright support? That ain't cornbread, homie.
