OK, not surprising to know that this is a viewpoint of at Saidit, and one of the reasons I want to see what's happening at Saidit. I'd agree that it can be difficult to deal with extremes on the left and the right, though as we know, those extremes are small minorities of assholes. 99.99% of BLM protests were peaceful, and the voilence stirred up by a few assholes, many of whom were white, wearing tactical black clothing and partial masks, and in videos at the time, throwing Molotov cocktails. Those assholes aren't 'left'. Some of them were identified as anarchists and others were identified as paid disrupters working for raf right groups. There were various videos on this during the protests. XR is Extinction Rebellion, regarding climate change. (If they were spotted in Houston they'd perhaps be shot.) Pro-Palestinian protests are also peaceful, and done in the manner of the XR protests. There were also the "me too" pussy hat protests, two of which I attended. And there have been animal rights activitsts who've been rather aggressive.

Hence my main point: though there are these many protests by left-leaning groups, nothing is done about them, partially because they are NOT violent or disruptive enough to cause a reaction. Destroyed BLM property arguably resulted in cameras on policemen/women. Pro-Palestine and XR groups have stopped traffic, upsetting everyone. As for the far right: in 2008-2017, 71% of mass shootings were by far right groups. A PDF of a presentation on this is here . And another one of my points: the hatred is primarilly from right wing groups, with devastating consequences in the US.
