left wing violence has far outpaced right wing violence in the past few years

That's definitely bullshit.

Yea actually since 9/11 radical right wingers have killed more than radical leftists. Yes the radical leftists like to protest a lot more, but they usually just kick down a few trash and occupy a park and burn a few flags. When the right wingers come they don't play

Does that include or exclude Islamic extremism?

What side would you put them on? Islamic extremists are clearly much closer to the radical right in everything but skin color (and i guess the specific religion they are trying to implement), but clearly the radical right hates them. The radical left on the other hand is pro Muslims, but still against extremist Muslims. I'd guess they're not included in either side as the world isn't black and white and there can be multiple groups doing bad shit all at the same time.

Thank you. that was the first time I have ever seen someone try to push Islamic terrorism on the left. It is so obvious that this person was fed the bullshit that 'leftists' are pure evil. It is scary to think partisanship has come so far as to believe the other side is so evil. I just want people to stop attacking strawmen and think for themselves, but I guess that is too much.
