You seem pretty racist. The fact is most ideological violence in the US today comes from the right wing. MAGA is pretty much a terrorist organization.

Ya think?

He's our resident racist in chief who was outed when someone found out he posted relentlessly on other Neo-Nazi forums.

But, but, but prove it! The FBI don't matter because they're the Deep State. All other metrics don't matter because everyone knows the more educated outfits are just biased Libs.

That's just not quantifiable, unless you accept the narrative people like looney tunes keeps putting forth. [deleted] I wouldn't pay any attention to his endless and incoherent rambling.

What if I am?

MAGA is pretty much a terrorist organization.

Just be thankful MAGA doesn't stoop to that level, especially since you can't arm and protect yourself as a liberal.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

while also claiming that crime motivated by racial or protected-class based bigtory


that's a funny term "protected class," I suppose in your mind if you're assaulting a white male just because you need the money that's not nearly as bad as assaulting someone who happens to be a member of the protected class of people. What a screwed up legal/ethical system we live under! It's funny to think all this started as a movement for "equality."


I referred to racial or protected-class based bigotry because that is the idea embedded in the notion of what a "hate crime" is and we were talking about the incidence of hate crimes in official statistics.

I, like almost every single person, believe that some crimes are worse than others based on the motive. Good luck finding a legal/ethical system that doesn't think this. As such, I do think it is worse to assault a person because they are white and you have disdain for white people compared to doing it because you need their money for food.

I do not support hate crime legislation, however. Skirting over a more complex explanation, I think hate crime legislation is too susceptible to being weaponized by bad actors, which has occurred repeatedly other nations with more robust hate crime laws, and I also think it improperly seeks to punish people's beliefs which I think should exist beyond government sanction.

Here's a White Liberal woman assaulting a Trump supporting Mexican-American who stands up for herself:

I wonder if the assault will be aggregated into the FBI's hate crime database, and tracked by the SPLC...

Lots of violence and terrorism coming from Trump supporters. It's a combination of low IQ, high aggression, low impulse control and disdain for American values.

Sure, if you're cherrypicking what to include in your dataset. You're telling me that every time Antifa or some other variation of a Leftist, Feminist, or racial identity group threatened or engaged in actual use of illegal force and violence as non-state actors to attain a political, economic, religious, or social goal through fear, coercion, or intimidation they made it into the database?
