"Incel" "Misogynists" "American Anti-Semites" "GamerGate" "Glowing Fed-operation "racist" group." "The mentally ill ex solider" "Right wing extremism terrorists"
Confirmed gang related homicides in 2022 were around 3,000 people. Even if you conglomerate all the right wing terrorist attacks between 2008 and 2016, The Nation Institute study, you come up with 79 deaths. Average that out to per-year, you get 9.875. (btw, 90 separate deaths came from Islamic terrorism. Bigger threat!)
0.3% of the yearly homocides are "XYZ-online-extremists" compared to gang homicides. Number gets even lower, in the thousandths range, if you actually do the entire homicide rate. ten-thousandths if you include suicides.
Honestly, I think the biggest mistake people make when dealing with these ideologues is believing that any of it comes from any kind of intellectual honesty or an intellectual thought process. It's feelings, all the way down.
It strikes me as absolutely insane that we have so much resistance to mandatory sentencing guidelines, three strike rules, re-education for certain types of people with noted criminal histories, etc, and yet these fucks are suggesting that shitposting on twitter should come with more consequences for your future than punching someone in the face.
Edit: fixed math. Was drunk.
That does tend to assume that leftists actually give a fuck about the boogiemen they're fabricating/exaggerating.
Furthermore, we've clearly seen time and time again how often the "sins" they're projecting are precisely the things they are guilty of practicing themselves.
In reality, it's almost always about power, influence, and manipulation. And they bury any potential for honest discussion through lies and deceit.
The cult leaders know they're lying. The cult members actually believe it.
If I thought that police were murdering 10000 unarmed black men every year, like leftists do, I'd want to do something about it too.
Most of the left are decent people with good intentions, but they have absolutely no idea they've been conned. The problem exploded when liberals cast out any remaining conservatives/independents from tv/news in reaction to Trump, so now they have no exposure at all to anything that contradicts their cult leaders.
I don't give a flying fuck what their intentions are. Actions are what matter, and their actions have caused devastating harm to my country.
You have to understand a problem if you hope to fix it.
How do some kids get sucked into it and others don't? What are more effective ways to deprogram an NPC?
If you think they're just evil people and try to teach morality to them you'll get nowhere.
