Yes, but that’s not going to change the minds of the people he was talking to.
As usual, the lie gets halfway around the world, before the truth has got its boots on.
Facts
1: Young people are predominantly left-leaning
2: Instances of criminal violence decline with age
3: Police/Military can’t commit criminal violence, because they are our friends. So nothing they do counts.
Conclusion
The majority of violence must be committed by The Left. I’m sorry, but facts don’t care about your feelings.
So I have very, very long copy-pastas I made from my reddit days detailing that this is pure and utter bullshit. Not just in recent history, but throughout our history. There was a momentary blip where leftist eco terrorism spiked but it was nothing comparable in terms of the homicidal violence of the right at any point in our history.
For every left-wing act of serious violence, I can name 3 or more from the right.
there are wikipedia articles about both of these topics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_terrorism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_terrorism
and, of course,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_violence
edit:
this is only one metric, but i think it’s notable that there are about 80 references on the left wing page and approximately 3.5 times that many on the right wing page.
That’s just the notorious Wikipedia Far-Left bias.
Like, consider the Comet Pingpong Shooting. You counted that as an act of right wing violence. But what about all the cases of adrenochrome harvesting that happened in the basement? Why aren’t Hilary Clinton and John Podesta on this list?
Hell, not a single victim of the Hilary Clinton Death List is anywhere in these articles. Why aren’t we counting the brutal murder of Jeffrey Epstein as an act of Left Wing Violence, eh?
Pretty suspicious if you ask me.
If you want to be a crazy conspiracy person like you are acting at least believe in the conspiracy that epsteins kiddy partners (like trump) were the ones who ordered the hit on him.
Trump was a white hat pedophile.
I want the left to have the hit the most fascists with milkshakes award.
People even slightly left of center and minorities should exercise their constitutional right to bear arms. When the proverbial hits the fan, milkshakes while delicious won’t cut it.
Common misconception. He was actually saying most political violence is committed by people politically to his left, which I think is undoubtedly true.
Specially when the left is virtually nonexistent
