We Are Not The Same

The fact he was in a relationship with a trans person, what he wrote on bullet casings, and what his friends and family have said and described him saying he was getting way more political and enraged if you were against his leftist views and would be openly hostile as well as the action of political assassination itself. That doesn't sound like someone just "leaning" left.

Having a relationship with a trans person is not a left-wing ideology nor any political ideology for that matter. It makes sense that he started leaning left once he started the relationship because Liberal ideology is for the protection of the civil rights of all people including trans, immigrants, and conservatives.

Haven't there been murders by the “far right” too?

The terms left and right are metaphorical in politics. They are used to represent opposing subjective views on various policy matters that are of valid interest to a society. Most people are left on some issues and right on other issues. Therefore, far right carries no meaning until there is a substantive issue that the terms left and right can be applicable.

The left/right dichotomy is structured to be an analytical tool, but some people improperly use it for propaganda, division, tribalism, ad hominem attacks, accusation, insinuation, and slander. These types of propaganda can and do twist minds, stoking undue angst against others, creating paranoias when believed upon, and subsequently justifying violence in the minds of people who have become disconnected from reality through propaganda.

I therefore do not want to contribute to the dysfunction of our body politics by using far "Right" in the context of a murderous intent. I think the case can be made that the current form of the slogan MAGA which began in 2016 has come to represent an anti-intellectualism founded upon negative prejudice, rather than any legitimate or valid substantive stance on policy.

They are SO quick when there's a hint of a Right leaner doing something wrong with less proof than there is about the Kirk murderer, but they jump on it and hold it tight.
But when it's one of their own who has done the wrong, they are SO quick to keep running away from it with their fingers in their ears. Some of them will always be deniers. A weak people they are.

This is all slanderous. Devil= accuser/slanderer, and paranoia is not proof. Who are you claiming does this?

If only it were that easy.

But Kirk's murder was a catalyst, and things are only going to get worse.

God save us.

If we want to talk pure objective facts, politically Right ideology has been the cause of far more violence committed than politically Left ideology. That isn't opinion, that doesn't justify or excuse violence committed by people with Left ideology. But it is an objective, actual, real fact.


That doesn't make "the Right" inherently violent. At least I certainly don't believe it does.

But if we are going to deal with real facts based on hard evidence, then let's face reality.

I don’t live in America, but I would like to know what are the differences between “far left,” “lean left,” “far right,” and “lead right?” Where exactly is the center?
