It’s paywalled so I can’t read the details.Here's classic left-wing extremism in action. Difference to most right-wing extremism is that it is actually by those in Government. Scary.

Hate crime bill: Hate talk in homes ‘must be prosecuted’
Conversations over the dinner table that incite hatred must be prosecuted under Scotland’s hate crime law, the justice secretary has said.
Journalists and theatre directors should also face the courts if their work is deemed to deliberately stoke up prejudice, Humza Yousaf said.
Oath Keepers militia leader Stewart Rhodes said members of his militia will be at polling locations on Election Day to “protect” Trump voters during an appearance on far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ program.
After making that claim, Rhodes made a number of unhinged statements, including saying Oath Keepers would follow directives from President Donald Trump to take members of the “deep state” into custody and “do what we have to do,” that Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act before the election, that Oath Keepers will “be in range” of Washington D.C., to stop a “Benghazi-style” attack on the White House on election night, and that a war will have to be fought against Democrats on the West Coast who are “bought” by the Chinese government. Rhodes also hyped the possibility of a second civil war where his “battle-hardened” supporters kill the “street soldiers” and “command and control” of “the radical left.” He later claimed the United States is already in a civil war because “you have sitting politicians who are part of the enemy’s ranks.”
- So it never happened, the democratic process stopped it from happening. Prosecution in the home wasn’t even a specific part of the bill.
Take a step back and read up on these thing before falling for click bait.
But will they? It seems far fetched.
I see - it’s still about inciting people to hatred -> violence.Comprehension failure on your part. The amendment was to limit the categories that "stirring up" offences could be applied to but didn't change that it could still be applied for speech in your own home.
You’ve made your mind up.
I see - it’s still about inciting people to hatred -> violence.
It’s not even what is happening FFS.I think raging left-wingers prosecuting dinner time conversations in the home makes my mind up for me pretty simply, yes.
What, you're left with some doubt as to whether this is sane and normal??
It’s not even what is happening FFS.
I mean. Just take a look at yourself you shrill idiot.
On top of that you’re pretending that “teh eeeevil leeeft” are the only people who could EVER legislate against people’s freedoms.
It’s hilarious!
This is a bill being debated as per the democratic process.
Don’t get hooked in by the panic-merchants.
There's no mention of violence in the bill.
JK Rowling might be in trouble for telling her neighbour, over tea and biscuits, that women have vaginas.
Any idea when was the last time a right-wing person beheaded someone?Lets be clear here. I denounce extremism and terrorism in all its forms. Islamic, ethno-nationalist, left wing and right wing. You name it.
But I am getting sick to death of the usual crew trying to play down the threat posed by right wing extremism. We've seen recent examples of far right wing extremism time and time again in Christchurch, Norway, Calgary, Oklahoma, Charleston, El Paso, Poway etc etc. Right wing extremists and neo-fascists, radicalised online (via social media sites like 8kun, 4chan, Stormfront, and increasingly twitter, Facebook and Youtube).
Mosques, Churches, Synagogues, Government buildings and employees and other sites targeted by radicalised right wingers. Mass shootings. Bombings. Car attacks. All the hallmarks of Islamic terrorism, replete with internet radicalisation of disenfranchised angry young men (and it's always men) convinced of some sort of 'clash of the cultures' and the need to kill civilians, women and kids 'for a greater good'.
And the problem of radicalised RWNJ's is growing at a rapid rate.
In Australia, Right wing extremism accounts for 40 percent of ASIO's counterterrorism efforts:

In the USA, far right wing terrorism accounts for the majority of all terrorist incidents since 1994, committing 2/3 of all plots and attacks in 2019, and over 90 percent to May 2020:

And the irony of the above, is you always see the usual flood of right wingers storming in to defend the above, or downplay it. The very same people that were prepared to denounce all Muslims on account of Islamic terrorism, and called for draconian laws and banning of radicalised Islamic extremists and preachers, are now pushing for the Lauren Southerns and similar far right wing agitators of the world and their 'freedom' to spruike their sh*t, and radicalise even more people.
Even worse, they try and label loosely aligned anti-fascist groups as 'terrorists' and draw this false equivalency between them and the radicalised neo-fascist mass murderers from the Right or from the Islamic extremist variety (none of whom I'll name here, may they all rot in Hell).
It's about time that false equivalence was called out for what it is. A deflection and a denial by right wingers and neo-fascists about the evils of the very far right wing ideologies they hold so dear.
Instead of downplaying and deflecting, the real question is: What can be done about the surge in neo-fascist and far right wing terrorism?

That’s what hardline extremist religious conservatives will do.France has become the enemy of the Islamists due to President Macron's defence of cartoons that depict the Prophet Mohammed.
Three more dead in an incident in Nice. An elderly woman beheaded in a church, a man has his throat cut, another man dies of multiple stab wounds.
Two further attacks took place on Thursday morning, one in France and one in Saudi Arabia. A man was shot dead in Montfavet near Avignon after threatening police with a handgun. And a guard was attacked outside the French consulate in Jeddah.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for a boycott of French goods.

I don't get the thread title. Stop "equating the risk of left wing extremism with right wing extremism "? Are you saying right wing extremism poses a higher risk than left wing terrorism or is your main point that people downplay right wing extremism? Islamic terrorism etc is extreme right wing.. communism is extreme left wing - imo its all shades of s**t at the extremes.Lets be clear here. I denounce extremism and terrorism in all its forms. Islamic, ethno-nationalist, left wing and right wing. You name it.
