He got Biden elected, through his own sh*t campaigning, doesn't that count for something?
Society/Culture Can we please stop equating the risk posed by left wing extremists with that of right wing extremists?

Does it matter if killing a person ticks the box of being a terrorist activity or the individual ticks the box of being an extremist ?
The definition given to left wing extremism/terrorism is very very narrow and outdated.
I think it was his poor handling of Covid that got Biden elected. It should've been Bernie, * Biden.

A left wing extremist was jailed in NSW yesterday. His crime?
Peacefully protesting against coal.
Climate activist sentenced to 12 months in jail over coal train blockade in NSW
Eric Serge Herbert stopped a Newcastle coal train by ‘climbing on top of it’

Anyhow, have a Winfield 25.

I made no such argument.
The argument I did make was that people (as distinct from people who commit serious crime) who live in high crime areas vote Democrat because they blame Republicans for the high crime rates.
How TF would you know how people who commit serious crime vote?
You wouldn't know.
You're just making s**t up.

Half of Americans don't even vote, they are the largest demographic.
This has been explained to you several times already.

Without seeking to play an excessively semantic game, how would you define terrorism in such a way as to encompass all of the behaviour that it involves, and then how would you define left wing to see how that label effects the former?
Essentially, create for me a Venn diagram of both things, so we can see how they interact according to you.
Oh well, enjoy your misery. Carry on.
Nah, the world is screwed, I'm happy to sit back and watch it all burn at this rate.

Not 'extreme', not even petty, this bloke should not be punished at all, warning maybe.

The intent of that post was not to champion the Nazis but to highlight a similarity between the Nazis and the far left.

The definition of left wing extremism is outdated.
They are just doing a segment on Fox news regarding the tendency of some on the left to encourage, glorify and excuse criminal behaviour.

So you want to use Murdoch's definition of left wing extremism?
I think without COVID Trump wins that election. Bernie was probably too left wing generally, even though he would have been a much better leader
Umm nah, unless you're talking about nazism in its absolute infancy, the 'idea' was socialism to put it simply.
But I wouldn't be aligning an antifa member with a member of the aus nazi party - they'd have glaringly different views on the world. Both extreme and crayon eating levels of intelligence but wildly different views none the less.
