Increasingly radicalised approaches to political debate has lead to a father and husband being shot

@Livingwell Unfortunately, the violence tilts WAY more to the radical left.

@Livingwell that’s true too!

@Unefilletrescurieuse This "both sides" rhetoric emboldens leftists to keep doing it as it excuses them. We know where the majority of it comes from and it's only going to end when the rest of us stop them.

@Therealsteve of course we do.. I was agreeing about the anti government people emerging…

@Unefilletrescurieuse Good. By this point, not naming and actively resisting these leftists is essentially putting oneself into their camp.

Radical leftists have been emboldened to do this for way too long, and now we see it manifest in a peaceful debater and father who teaches "God loves us all, irrespective of sexuality or race" shot point blank by a leftist.

Either you actively resist this, or you push for it to continue. There can be no other camp at this point.

@Therealsteve violence is right wing and centrist. Otherwise the world's biggest killer would need a left! You don't have one, just the right and the moderates.

@Therealsteve well you come on strong as judge! Btw, anyone that knows me here in the least know I push back more than most. I stand about as far right as one can go. You seem angered cause I agree about people on either side antigovernment…. Well sorry fella that’s a HUGE root behind everything happening. Please go criticize someone else. I stand for everything on the right and don’t need your criticism cause I won’t take up your cause … I’ve clearly already told you what I agreed with.

@Roundandroundwego No, there are just the peoples of the world, and then radical, violent leftists who wish to destroy everyone.

@Unefilletrescurieuse We are in agreement, you just need to be absolutely iron in your will of resistance against these hateful people.

@Therealsteve the Dems and the GOP have no plans to deal with all the guns, the car crashes and the poverty, the wars and the lack of any support for the population. That's conservative, not leftist. But we know that liars lie and Americans don't like the truth.

@Roundandroundwego The leftists must be dealt with. It's hard to deal with anything, if merely sitting down for a chat gets you shot by radical leftists.

@Therealsteve obviously you agreed with each other that the left is violent. The only reason Americans don't need a left and carry on perfectly well with just conservative and moderates together is that they don't have a pro peace population. Not of any size! Violence and violence together. You got this! We're excluded.

@Therealsteve Pete Hegseth identifies the anti war pro socialism left in the USA as your enemy! Along with China, Iran and Russia. You got this.

@Roundandroundwego Of course we agree with each other that leftist violence needs stamping out, we are human beings. And yes, anyone who in any way justifies this violence or tries to shift blame from those who carry it out and therefore perpetuates it do need excluding and dealing with.

@Roundandroundwego @Therealsteve violence is definitely not leftist, but lies are definitely part of being a Western thinker.

@Roundandroundwego Unfortunately, it is. Inherently so. And it's why all these leftists groups always turn to violence.

@Roundandroundwego Define "fascist".

@Therealsteve people who are against peace and socialism but for service to the oligarchs and war, guns cars and ecocide are fascists. Fascism is the politics of US global dominance, the two party system and wage slavery without a welfare state. But it's nothing you would want to resist. And you will not learn from defining fascism or socialism. You're just picking.

@Roundandroundwego Nope, fascism would by a system whereby a nationalized, one party state seizes most or all means of a population's production to steer it in one centralized fashion.

@Therealsteve that's a planned economy under centralized government. It could be fascist or not. Everyone accepts the endless wars, poverty and hard work for the population you fascists deliver. You don't have pretend you have esoteric political beliefs. You got this.
