Nope. Which side keeps trying to dehumanize people they disagree by calling them nazis, racists, etc so it's easier to justify violence towards them? Seriously... which side think it's a joke to hold up the severed fake head of a president? Which side keeps trying to censor the other side or shut down their events? What do you think of ANTIFA trying to bash in skulls at trump rallies? Which side is trying to push the false narrative that the president isn't a legiment president because the russians interferred with the election? What to see some reactions from the left on this particular event?
A writer from huffington post. For violent resistance to work it'd need to be organized. Individual acts can be understandable, but likely counterproductive/ineffective. What's more harmful: Putting millions already on the margins more at-risk via draconian policies, or shooting a racist lawmaker in the hip? |
You are misunderstanding what I said. I never claimed that there weren't factions within left wing (primarily US) politics that uses divisive and even hateful rethoric. There certainly is. I'm just saying you too are using divisive rethoric, and that it's hypocritical of you to call it out while doing the very same thing yourself. Even your reply here is filled with divisive rethoric. I mean, you are literally talking about "which sides" are doing what. But go on blaming "the other side" for any and all problems, while at the same time engaging in that problematic behaviour you are complaining about. Just don't be surprised when people call out your hypocrisy.
