Is the left doing that?

All I see is people on the left refusing to tar all Muslims with the same brush based on the actions of a small, radical minority because when you do that all you do is make the situation worse, you radicalise moderates.

After a few decades of interventions from the right there are more radical Islamic terrorists than ever before, because of failed policies, failed military interventions, the drumming up of fear...

It isn't about not wanting to do anything or not understanding the threat, it is about putting it in a realistic perspective and doing things that will actually have a chance of a positive outcome.
You have studied Gramsci yes?

Disagreeing with far left opinion doesn't make you alt right. I definitely want a shift to the right in politics but only to bring it back to the centre at least.
There are more opinions that "far left" "centre" and "alt right", as you well know. Pizzagate is the most well-known piece of Fake News, which is heavily associated with the alt-right. Questioning the health and making political conspiracies about key political opponents? Again - very alt right. That website is ticking all the boxes.

What's more, looking into who funds BLM, and claiming it is the driving force, rather than it being a genuine grass-roots movement is alt right. Doxxing, identity politics, seeding distrust in democratic institutions, lying and spreading misinformation to the point Snopes has to make an article about, etc. while ignoring the central point (cops shooting unarmed black people)... These are the hall marks of the alt right.

Another key hall mark is harrassment and abuse - a model seemingly accelerated after the Milo-associated GamerGate - but that is done more via socials.

Yeah no shit, they're anarchists. I misread your post, but pointed out some antifa are in Syria killing ISIS.
So you believe the rubbish that site peddles, and the capitalist killers called antifa are in Syria killing ISIS?

I have a sneaking suspicion your internet history would reveal you spend quite a bit of time there.

How to die at work: be male

A strange omission in the coverage was that 95 per cent of these fatalities were men, with six out of the 10 industries cited - including two of the three most deadly, transport and construction - recording only male deaths.

"Looking across all fatalities, male workers have a fatality rate 18 times greater than that of female workers," spokeswoman Michelle Hutchison said.
Wage gap?

How is that hypocritical? The left is actively trying to increase government regulation ensuring workplace safety and a greater consultative role for union safety reps. It is the left trying to prevent private enterprise from treating worker safety with such contempt.

Thank you for your argument in favour of stronger government regulations.

Brilliant. You have to admire this level of delusion.

Holy shit. I encourage everyone to check out the site that Eagle Wrath just linked.

Here are 3 of their articles. This is how these posters inform themselves.

What hope do we have?

Without baptism, we are abandoned to the wolves
I thought that had to be a parody site, but it doesn't look like it is. Unless they've gone as far as parody commenters on the articles and everything. I forget sometimes that these people actually exist.
