I mostly mean people in power right now, not the nuts in the street, in universities, in the media, and on internet forums ... like this one. By "far right", I mean conservatives who are ultra proud of American history and who want to drastically limit the size, scope and reach of the federal government, and overhaul the way Congress works to make it easier to do so, thereby enhancing Americans' freedom to amass and keep wealth, diversity be damned. (That would be me, though I have no power.) By "far left", I mean liberals or socialists who are apologetic or ashamed of American history and who want to drastically increase the size, scope and reach of the federal government in order to achieve more diversity and inclusion and to redistribute wealth. By danger, I mean the danger of reducing the quality of the average American's life, overall. Obviously there are some benefits to helping the poor, and there are some benefits to leaving people alone.
If it’s ANTIFA vs. the right wing militia, currently it’s ANTIFA because they are in the cities causing violence now. The militia could become worse if they become violet. Extreme left or right is highly undesirable. Like a fellow I met in college, I think that the two meet back to back when they back away from each other. They can become indistinguishable. Bottom line, I can’t answer your poll because, you can’t say both sides are equally dangerous. “Fence-sitter” is not an accurate summation.
Far right vs. Far left: who is more dangerous? I can't tell. Everyone is to the left of me and I'm not dangerous.
FBI says far-right groups greatest terrorism threat. Proud Boys and Oath Keeper members convicted of seditious conspiracy. Far-right tried to nullify a presidential election, without cause, because they didn't like the outcome. Slam dunk.
Got any examples for us - I mean apart from QANON rubbish and make believe Antifa in case you have not found out stands for Anti Fascists. If Fascists did not exist neither would they
I'd say the further someone is from the center the more potential they have to be dangerous, but I wouldn't judge either from the left or right until they actually do something dangerous. I think the further someone is from the center, the deeper their judgement runs. The more judgemental someone is, the greater the chance they look at others as the enemy, and the more likely it is that they would act on it. But, again, if they are not committing violence, then there is no problem.
Your OP failed right from the get go. You are far right based on your OP. Since when are either Far either side proud of American history?
No kidding, hey! Which far nutter group wanted to stop the peaceful transfer of power of the POTUS? When has that happened before? And if it did, which group wanted to do that before?
Fence sitters? What are fence sitters? How would they be more dangerous than far either side? Aren't fence sitters considered in the middle?
I suppose the argument would be that their exacerbating things by refusing to pick a side. I mean, thats not my argument, just my guess as to why they would be an option.
So if I called myself 'anti-demon' and started throwing baggies of poo at atheists, that would mean they're actually 'demons?' ...or is it possible Anti-Fa are just making up false justifications?
Is using violence to suppress views and opinions and politics that you don't agree with a fascist tendency?
I spose it depends on which team you're on. De-industrialization, economic collectivism, subjective rule of law... these are dangerous to civilization. Guns and 'leave me alone'... these are dangerous to ...the left.
So what do you think? Is using violence to suppress political opinions and speech that you don't agree with something that a fascist might do?
The far right aren’t “conservatives” anymore, they’re right-wing populists. Oh, many still think that they’re conservatives. But real actual Conservatives were the never-Trumpers (Lincoln Project et. al.).
Again examples and please not that idiot “journalist” that keeps picking fights with random people and claiming he has been beaten up by Antifa Near as I can tell Antifa is a major boogeyman with about as much substance
If you're going to deny Antifa is well known for violence, then having a conversation with you about them would be pointless.
I chose the Far Left. Not because I think they are any more dangerous than the far right, but because the far left hides it's crazy behind compassion and the illusion of helping people. That gives it a seductiveness that the far right crazy stuff doesn't have. Listening to folks touting either extreme will bring nothing but ruin, but the far left has better marketing for their brand of crazy.
I guess you don’t keep up with the news, or you get it all from CNN. Check out what happen in Atlanta.
I don't know. I just had this fantasy that some imaginary antifa activist might have committed an act of violence at some point in the last 6 years.
