It would be nice if instead of saying boogalooboys and far right people have done more violence, they maybe, show a list of violence attributed to both "groups." They just keep saying it, and then I've seen over 100 days of the far left committing violence. So, how did I miss all this far right violence? Starting to wonder if I'm blind. Someone show me what they are pointing to, please!

I second this!

What they say is a threat versus what I have witnessed don't line up at all.

Not only that, but these "peaceful protester" "far leftists" turn into "far right" in media right at the moment they're caught doing crimes against humanity.

Does this finally settle the debate over whether the left can maymay or not? 🤔

Since they can get everyone thinking & saying the same things—I have to say yes they can.

Richard Dawkins would agree.

But are the maymays really, truly that dank, or is the intended demographic for these memes a lil more accustomed to other people such as news outlets telling them how to feel and think?

Where do I find the destruction of the far right that they claim is more than the left? There are cities on fire because of the left, what's the far-right equivalent?

Someone saying something distasteful on the internet?

Counterargument: There is a a possible point that the left's censorious nature has actually swept the 'far right' problems under the rug. I am not sensitive to this argument because I see things differently and also have different solutions for the supposed problem, so I'm not the correct person to study this (maybe a group of moderates?). But it is something to consider.

are you seriously equating someone being an edgelord on the internet to a business owner losing their ability to provide for their family? or are you being sarcastic?

Um. I suppose that is what the leftist argument actually is. Hence me posing an answer in question format. It really does sound pretty bad when you feed it back to me. Well, I gave it my best. Have a lightbulb, sir.

Oof, time to take a break from all the leftist propoganda I've been going over. I just had to block more insults from a TERF on saidit (a power-hunger mod one, no less). And just think, I'm talking to holocaust deniers and I haven't had to block any of them because they haven't been mean.
