    All political violence is immoral. Offenders need to go prison. I’d say, 5-10 years.

    Involuntary national service. Posted to Mogadishu.

    If they have aggression to manage, we can use it positively.

    To resort to physical violence in a free society is to declare war on reason, logic, and morality. It’s to a announce to the world that your answer to an idea you disagree with is a fist to your opponent’s face.

    Both the alt right and the radical left use these tactics. They belong in prison, not at debates.

    From Ayn Rand’s The New Intellectual:

    No advocate of reason can claim the right to force his ideas on others. No advocate of the free mind can claim the right to force the minds of others. No rational society, no co-operation, no agreement, no understanding, no discussion are possible among men who propose to substitute guns for rational persuasion.

    If men of good will wish to come together for the purpose of upholding reason and establishing a rational society, they should begin by following the example of the cowboys in Western movies when the sheriff tells them at the door to a conference room: "Gentlemen, leave your guns outside."

    Whether they are close yet, or not, is a matter I am not debating. I merely assert that they are heading in that direction.

    Their leadership is already far left and are collectively dragging the average Dem Party voter in that direction. The DNC leadership is now trying like hell to mainstream self-avowed Socialist politicians and soon after that will begin trying to mainstream self-avowed Marxist politicians.

    There is still plenty of centrists to hold them back. Just like in the GOP there are radicals but in small numbers.

    It's nation-hating and anti-ethical; and so the new standard of Dem Party leadership. Nice!

    "But why is it that while the right is so outraged by a few individuals on the left in such a case, they (the right) ignores a similar group on the right who do bad things?"


    Oh, I don't know.

    Maybe because there are no similar groups on the right?

    Both radical factions are resorting to violence. The left because real world results for collectivist states—be they, fascist, religious, communist, or socialist—can’t win the intellectual battlle—no rational person is going to choose Venezuela, Iran, Syria, Zimbabwe, Cuba, ect ., over America, or Australia, or Japan, or Tiawan, etc.

    Why? Because no one who loves life is going to choose the wholesale mass slaughter of the collectivist ideology over the wholesale mass prosperity and happiness the capitalist ideology has brought into existence.

    The alt-right uses it because they see the radical left’s intellectual leaders using the fear and envy of masses to attack personal lives, private property, and politicians. They see Christens persecuted for their beliefs. The see the rich being scapegoated for the problems of the poor. They see white man protrayed as racist sexual deviates. They see laws being passed that grant special privileges to minority groups and deny the rights of the individual. They see every group protected and cuddle except theirs, successful Christian white men.

    In essence, it has become a war between two competing gangs—ANTIFA and the Alt-Right—for control of the power of the gun, the government. One in the name of equality of misery, the other in the name of nationalistic xenophobia.

    Both the Democrats and the Republicans have used these groups to further their own political ambitions and lust for power. They believe they can control them for their political benefit. Reality will prove them wrong and short sighted.

    It is an absolute moral necessity that both sides renounce and condemn all political violence, and demand that all who practice political violence are brought to justice and dealt with strongly.

    It’s liberty or tyranny, not left or right, nor miniority or majority. It’s the principle of individual rights, not the principle of the absolute morality of popular opinion. And those that resort to political violence deserve our disgust and condemnation, not a wink of the eye and sheepish apologies.

    It’s our lives. We can live as free men or as brutes. The choice is ours.

    Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, skinheads, idiots of various stripes.

    Your denial is not a surprise.

    I am not you. I don't know the perspective through which you view history.

    I do know that the promotion of false narratives is nothing new. What's your point?

    I asked my original question, because nobody is going to buy the 'false-flag' narrative. That should be obvious. So, I asked why would anyone bother pushing it?
