    There is a clear and pervasive difference in the way extremism manifests in the Right vs Left, and both sides are not the same…

    You ought to read this section from a blog post I published today that pertains to this very subject.

    Highlights:

    In a study evaluating Left-Wing and Right-Wing domestic extremism between 1994 and 2020, there was one fatality as the result of Left-Wing extremism, versus 329 fatalities resulting from Far Right extremism in that 25 year period. [5]

    The Far-Right movement is the oldest and most deadly form of domestic terrorism in the United States, and … the Far-Right is responsible for 98% of extremist murders in the U.S. [24] Furthermore, for nearly every year since 2011, Far-Right terrorist attacks/plots have accounted for over half of all terror attacks/plots in the United States. [21]

    In the U.S., Right-Wing extremism was responsible for two-thirds of all failed, foiled, or successful terror attacks in 2019, and was responsible for 90% of attacks in the first half of 2020 alone. [21] Since 2013, Far-Right extremism has been responsible for more terror attacks/plots than the Left-Wing, ethnonationalism, or religiously motivated attacks/plots. [21]

    Again, this is from this article I have written and you can follow the citations. I have ads turned off and don’t benefit in any way from this blog.
