Oh you have these too. It wasn't that long ago that I read a similar classification of terrorism on the webpage of my countrys public health (an offive of health and welfare) of all places and they had listed "extreme left" as one form of extremism.

They then went on to state that this leftist "terror" tends to be non-violent, but I don't know... both-sidesing is a helluva drug it seems.

Today MSNBC is doing something totally unlike them. They're having on "reasonable" house republicans to try to explain the mess the republicans made of half of congress. It's insane level of both sides-ing because these "reasonable" GOP are the sorts of people that in the next hour could go on Fox News and say how the 2020 was "stolen" from Trump. They are just as fascist as the "maga wing" and always put themselves and their party above country.

Edging a little close to the lib “America isn’t like this”

Do you have a link to this? I want to see some brainworms.

Funny how they always have to do the both sides shit, when was the last time there was left-wing violence in Finland? Maybe something minor may have happened in the 70s at a push.

lol: The violent extreme right: they organize violent protests, assault people and destroy property

The violent extreme left: anarchists and antifascists who mostly post stuff online

These two things are surely worthy of being listed alongside each other ![galaxy-brain](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/fa05d4fe-f163-40e0-a03d-912cd48096ad.png "emoji galaxy-brain") ![centrist](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/42c3c427-17ea-41aa-958e-c3e33ef95186.png "emoji centrist") They didn't even bother to come up with an example of leftists being violent (mostly because that doesn't really happen unlike fascist violence), just that they mostly do stuff online, but that's apparently enough to call them the violent extreme left.

It's pretty amazing. Imagine my feels as I stumbled upon this while reading some of their covid minimizing things on the site. It's like brainworms on brainworms, nobody can claim this joint isn't pushing for the most neoliberal status quo bs ever. They be "apolitical" too. Lol
