There were some comments from users such as Gizortnik and others in this thread which I felt were too good to simply leave in their respective thread (especially if those posts and/or users get deleted later on), and I also wanted to impart some additional thoughts from my end without getting buried in a chain of replies. Credit to those original posters. Feel free to share more nuggets of information in here too.
Leftists were always this violent.
They just got better at hiding it, ironically because of Gamergate. Remember how openly smug they acted back then? They thought labeling someone a "shitlord" and "neckbeard" was all they needed to unperson someone. Remember how activists like Big Red became laughing stocks?
Once those labels became ineffective, they escalated: racist, sexist, transphobe, alt-right, nazi, fascist, etc. But the desired outcome remained the same. They wanted us gone. "No bad tactics, only bad targets".
They became better at obfuscating their intentions, they hide behind platitudes and slogans. But they never came up with any new argument because the majority of normies are "rote thinkers" (they reason in terms of singular "if A then B" factoids, unable to process analytically). They will adopt a position based solely on mere exposure to attitudes toward that position. In the year 2000, Christina Hoff Sommers released a book called "The War on Boys". It documents the destruction of our society by what we'd now recognize as our ideological enemies.
The left wanted to kill people like her, Erin Pizzey and others for years before Gamergate. #killallmen was and is a thing, just ask Clementine Ford or Bahar Mustafa, two names you've almost certainly long forgotten by this point. But they certainly haven't forgotten you. They called for your death on the Dorsey-controlled Twitter, and they completely got away with it. Because none of the infrastructure we have today was yet in place. They could get away with this shit back then, out in the open as well.
As Sam Hyde said, they want you dead. Your children brainwashed and transitioned. Your sister raped and murdered. Because that is what they are after. They hate people having privileges that they don't.
Hell, that's where the whole "check your privilege" argument came from. It was never about despising the uber-privileged; hence why they worship so many of the far-left darlings like Bernie Sanders whose favorite form of public transport is his Audi R8. They just hate normal people like you and me leapfrogging them. Hence their blinding hatred for landlords, yet they don't give a shit about companies or commie governments hostilely taking over entire fucking neighborhoods.
And I think you really got to see it with the OceanGate incident. Millions of people cheering over the deaths of super-rich individuals who never did a fucking thing to them. Making memes over the way they died. Simply because they were obscenely rich.
We saw it again with the cult of Luigi. The idea of "Luigi'ing" every single person you don't agree with. In fact, that's where I'd argue the inspiration behind killing Kirk came from. They just want to "Luigi" their opposition so they may never open their mouth again. Because now they're being chased out of their hugboxes and are losing control of the narrative completely.
There have been 3 major periods of Leftist violence in America, and none of them are referred to as left-wing terror campaigns.
- The Labor / Coal Wars of the late 1800s
- The Red Scares of the Interwar Period
- The Days Of Rage Campaign of the 1970s
All of these comprised hundreds if not thousands of shootouts, bombings, riots, assassinations, and more, normally as part of a wider terror campaign internationally. The most recent one was the 2020 Black National Socialist Kristallnacht, which also expanded into Canada's Red Terror against Catholics and the burning of 16 churches, and the vandalization of 40 others.
Of all the major terrorist attacks or offensives in history, here's the ones nobody talks about, and were all left-wing:
- Wall Street Bombing - 30 killed and over 100 wounded in the largest terrorist attack of it's time
- Sterling Hall Bombing - 1 killed, but the Communist conspirators almost entirely got off. The primary conspirator served only 7 years, became a hot dog vendor, and said he'd do it again. It was the inspiration for the OKC bombing. Canada refused to extradite them on terrorist charges because they could have faced the death penalty.
- Burning of Kent State ROTC building - Attempt to murder 300 cadets while they slept, and is why the National Guard were at Kent State in the first place.
When the Ohio National Guard were separated and attacked by rioters, they shot into the air and hit several random students. That is the only part that anyone hears about. Nobody in the media at the time wanted to accept it, and despite their best efforts, especially to this day since KSU is still lefty anyway, they want to bury the fact that most people agreed with what the Governor was doing. They still claim crazy things like the NG troops fired directly into the crowd, which wasn't possible considering the injuries came from all over campus, as they were firing into the air. They were firing into the air because the Communists were hurling stones, bricks, and bottles into their face, and they had backed themselves into a fence and could no longer maneuver. The reason that none of the guardsmen were charged was because the courts deduced that they were in reasonable fear for their lives given that communists hand seized the University, burned down the ROTC building, and were using weapons that could cause them grievous bodily harm.
Not that the Left are prepared to admit that. Where the guard actually fucked up is that they were the ones who maneuvered themselves out of position, and no one actually came to assist or evacuate them. Basically, the reason no one gave an order to fire, is because the men were trying to get Communists to stop pelting them with bricks, and they felt their lives were in danger.
Here's some more:
- 1954 Congressional Shooting - Puerto Rican Separatists attempted to machine gun the entire US Congress wounding 5 people before being shot at and captured by the Sergeant At Arms. (The second attempt to murder most of the legislature was the Baseball game shooting).
- MOVE Firefight (1978) - Black Separatist Communist organization takes over a portion of Philadelphia in an insurrection and kills 1 police officers and wounds 13 others in a major gunbattle
- MOVE Siege (1985) - The same group does the same thing, but this time after another major gunbattle, they are hit with an incendiary bomb to force them out of the building. You always hear about the bombing, but never why.
- Attica Prison Hostage Crisis (1971) - 43 Killed, 42 hostages were taken, 90 Wounded. Bloodiest prison "riot" that I can even think of in US history
And just to be clear only The Wallstreet Bombing is even referred to as a Leftist Terrorist attack on Wikipedia.
There's so much more. It's unfathomable. Political violence from Leftist ideology represents the vast and sweeping majority of all political violence in American history. There are fucking enormous amounts of Leftist violence in America and history and absolutely none of them are affiliated with the Left. Here's a good one:
Jonestown was a Leftist suicide event. People don't even talk about the fact that Jim Jones was directly involved in California Democrat politics, including Diane Feinstein directly. Jonestown was a Leftist Commune. He decided to kill all of his followers when it appeared that the local government would have him arrested, and his appeals to the Soviet Union were rejected. When Jim Jones' men killed two US congressmen who came down to work with him on letting people go, that's when he decided to execute everyone.
I bet you no one in any documentary of any stripe ever said a word about how well Jim Jones was connected to the California Democrats, and how his cult was a Leftist organization.
And you can keep going back from there. Spain, 1930s Spain, the one that Franco ended up seizing power over, is portrayed as the start of a right-wing dictatorship. But it only emerged because of far-left terror!
In the decades since his death, you always, ALWAYS hear about all the "poor oppwessed minowities", especially the Basques, who "suffered" under Franco's rule. But you never fucking hear the why.
Because they don't want you to hear it.
Why? Because the same fucking bloodthirsty psychos that had taken Russia were trying to do the exact same thing to Spain. They were slaughtering any fucking Catholic they saw. They were digging up the corpses of nuns and posing for sick photographs with them, which TO THIS FUCKING DAY redditors try to deny as "right-wingers trying to make the left look bad".
Digging up the corpses of rotting nuns at a time photography wasn't readily available or displayable once you captured them. Totally a thing the right-wing would do. Not because the left-wing are perverse, demonic freaks and always have been.
It's the same story with Ireland too. The IRA has always represented far-left terror disguising itself under a much more agreeable "Nationalist" facade. But it is just as much commie insurgent bullshit as ETA was.
Before the IRA had enough credibility to get foreign funding and political support, they funded their operations with bank robberies carried out in the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland was already free and running things their way. There was absolutely no reason for the IRA to conduct any of their business there. The part of the IRA that went active in the late '60s in the six counties that had stayed with the royal crown (Ulster) was predominantly communist in nature and was all about using capitalist money stolen from banks to fund an insurgency and bring about a unified Ireland under a single socialist government.
It was never about "liberating the 6 counties" from English rule, of which many never had a problem with it to start with. It was an earnest attempt to turn the whole island commie. Cuba tactics, but in Europe.
A big part of 'The Troubles' were physical forms of economic terrorism. The IEDs they were famous for primarily served the purpose of destroying property, interfering with the day to day operation of Protestant and thus presumably British-owned businesses and of course using to fear to coerce government action.
If you look back to any riot which had a serious amount of property damage, it will ALWAYS lead back to the far left. In 2019, there was a right-wing Gilets Jaunes protest in France, and at one point, those protesting began to approach someone's parked Citroen DS. The Gilets Jaunes actually ended up forming a protective barrier around the car to prevent it being vandalized. Compare that to several years later, in the SAME CITY, where some retards protested a Moroccan kid getting their cap peeled. They broke into a fucking classic car dealer and torched a 50 year old Lancia for literally no reason.
They did it not because they particularly wanted to; they did it because they could. A year later in America, the George Floyd riots and all the damage to businesses which were inflicted, particularly Uncle Hugo's comic book store. In fact, if you go back to the '92 LA Riots, there's a very famous video of a black business owner on the verge of tears because his business had been destroyed by people of his own skin color. He couldn't comprehend it. He couldn't fathom that his own kind would turn on him like that. But here's the thing, they use chaos to create more decay. They hate order. They hate good things. And if they see your beautiful oak door, they WILL break it up for firewood.
Russia and China especially are probably the two most heartbreaking examples. So much culture destroyed in such a short amount of time. Many of the Faberge Eggs were probably stomped and hammered to scrap simply because of what they represented with zero regard to their artistic merit. If they can blow up a 700 year old castle (Konigsberg), then they'll take no umbrage with mere trinkets. And remember this - the Russian royal family were slaughtered like animals. They weren't jailed, exiled, or enslaved. They were shot to pieces, one by one. Even the children. Because they have always been a violent blood cult with no sense of morals.
Therefore, in closing, we give these people precisely ZERO QUARTER.
Whenever a leftshit whines about being (deservedly) fired for their comments over Charlie Kirk, remind them of the guy they got fired for donating $25 to Rittenhouse's legal defense fund. Or Shirtgate. Or Donglegate. Or the various teachers fired for not being utterly shitty human beings. Or the people bullied to tears because they dared played Hogwarts Legacy. Or the people bullied to suicide over their art. Or the people fired or barred from attending college for fifteen year old tweets. Or all the tyrannical bullshit they pulled during COVID in the name of "our safety". Priests forbidden from giving masses. Families broken up and arrested for celebrating Thanksgiving. Old, vulnerable relatives left to slowly die in complete isolation. Fuck each and every one of them.
You can never hate the left enough. They have always wanted you dead. Now, they no longer bother to hide it.
That lady, Susan Rosenberg, bombed the US capitol in the 1970s. I think Obama or Clinton commuted her sentence, she is [was?] now a prominent member of the BLM terrorist and extortion organization.
Same violence, different hat.
