The majority of Americans are not center.
In the US the majority would fall in one of 3 buckets center right, right or far right.
Around 2016 I was golfing in Myrtle and some southerners were asking what I thought of trump. Not wishing to have a 7 iron wrapped around my neck, I told them that seeing as I'm Canadian and our Conservative party is more left wing than your Democrats, my perspective of politics is so different from yours, I can't comment on what goes on in your country.
I was able to finish my round.
In 2018, most ideologically motivated murders in the United States of America were linked to right-wing extremism.[19] As of 2020, right-wing extremist terrorism accounted for the majority of terrorist attacks and plots in the US[20][21] and has killed more people in the continental United States since the September 11 attacks than Islamic terrorism.[22] The United States Department of Homeland Security reported in October 2020 that white supremacists posed the top domestic terrorism threat, which FBI director Christopher Wray confirmed in March 2021, noting that the bureau had elevated the threat to the same level as ISIS
You are correct. Probably center right to right today. This would have been center maybe 10 , 20 years ago based on definitions back then.
In the US/MAGA, attempting to provide abortion rights and LGBT rights is domestic terror coming from the left.
Is your point that right-wing extremists just happen to be more competent than left-wing extremists, actually accomplish what they say and thus the reason why they are more of a danger?
You guys joined within weeks of each other.You must be new. TERB is a hot mess on a good day
My point is what is directly stated the quote.
Which is that the majority of terrorism is from the right.
I’m not justifying the actions but providing one possible reason for this and this is censorship. The left don’t get censored. The right have been heavily censored on free speech. They’ve been told what the new normal is as dictated by the liberal media and their government. This is the whole reason people like your fellow countryman, (whom I know you don’t care much for) Jordan Peterson has become such a popular world figure.
“If you tell people they can’t speak, they scream. If you tell them they can’t scream, they tear things down. Free speech is a precondition for peace.”
I anticipate major race conflicts in the UK as a result of social media censorship laws. The government can’t tell people what to do and think based. Trump is doing the same against Trans and I anticipate bad events coming from this as well from Ts.
Free Speech:
You are confusing consequences with censorship.
If you racially abuse someone, harass a woman at work, or make anti-LGBTQ comments you are going to get fired from your job.
This is not an attack on your freedoms.
It is a consequence of your actions.
Social media censorship:
Has 2 sources.
1. The Republicans and Democrats have asked social media platforms to remove content they considered defamatory or as misinformation.
2. Social media platforms have their own rules as they are private and when people break those rules they get suspended. Again not an attack on free speech, but it is a consequence of your free speech.
Well, you can concealed carry in FL, IIRC. So at least you could fire back when the righties attack you.
