The real threat of violence comes from the right. The Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism reports that right-wingers and white supremacists were responsible for 74 percent of the murders committed by political extremists in the United States over the past decade. Only 2 percent were committed by left-wing radicals. Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute, has calculated that “terrorists inspired by Nationalist and Right Wing ideology have killed about 10 times as many people as Left Wing terrorists since 1992.”
What’s more, white supremacists and their fellow travelers have strong connections to the establishment right and are far more organized than the antifa. They seek to provoke confrontation through armed marches onto college campuses and into the centers of liberal-leaning cities, like the confrontation in Charlottesville last summer.
These narratives about aggressive left-wing violence aren’t just distorted. They are dangerous, because they set the stage for replacing democratic institutions with authoritarian rule. Provoking street violence and blaming it on their opponents is exactly how totalitarian regimes have gained power in the past.
We are seeing the effect right now. Braindead Trump-sycophants are taking matters into their own hands and are now trying to assassinate politicians because they're afraid of delusional conspiracy theories. I mean look at that insane quote from Skinny Puppy, who has been mislead to believe that Soros is actively trying to destroy america:
"It’s also possible, only possible, that some of the protestors were being paid indirectly by Soros. It’s a known fact that he is trying to break America by funding various radical groups." This can't be believed by a thinking person. There is ZERO evidence of this.
