How do we measure right-wing violence?

In a way that supports our preexisting conclusions.

And not one word about the Occupy violence, the Antifa violence and all the other left wing attacks.

So called "right wing" terrorism is not the problem in this country.

It is Left wing terrorism along with the threat of Islam that is the threat....which continues to grow.

This article is based on a lie, that the Christchurch killer was “right wing”. He was pretty clearly an Eco-Fascist per his detailed manifesto.

“How do we measure right-wing violence?”

Mostly by making s*** up.

Nor is it a systemic problem in any country. The Christchurch cases gets a lot of media coverage because it fits the Left's false narrative of "Muslims as victims of racism" and because it is a freakishly rare "man bites dog" story.

Meanwhile, terrorist attacks BY Muslims occur around the world on a weekly basis and are mostly a footnote. These include recent attacks against Christian Churches in Egypt, the ISIS-inspired Church bombing in the Philippines, and the Dutch shooting all happened within weeks of Christchurch, but received far less media coverage.

The answer is: Right-wing terrorism and unicorns.

The question is: What are two things that only exist in the minds of delusional Communist moonbats ?

By taking every instance of left-wing terrorism, quadruple the number; and the blame it all on the right.

Do they count a MAGA hat sighting as right-wing violence?

Right wing terrorism, what right wing terrorism, examples please, and make sure they were right (no pun intended) here in the good old US of A. Right wing terrorism my lily white backside.

You are not allowed to use examples from the Government right wing terrorist website Southern Poverty Law Center.

Both right-wing and left-wing violence happen in tiny amounts in Western democracies, which is actually pretty impressive given the large populations of right and left wingers from which violent radicals can emerge. What's remarkable about Islamic violence is that it emerges from an overall population of Muslims that is very small. In other words, you have to look at this in a per capita kind of way to draw meaningful conclusions.

Also, by limiting his scope to Western democracies, the author avoids the PRONOUNCED worldwide pattern of Islamic violence. I haven't read the full article but I doubt he says a word about this minor detail.

"Attacks against minorities" and "government " - all those black on black murders, BLM inspired police shootings/attacks , are "right wing terrorism". I agree with the meat puppet who wrote this narrative tuner.

There is a problem with reporting "right-wing terrorism". Any crime, attack, proven false "hate crime " hoax are all massaged/molested to be assigned to be caused or driven by the "right wing extremists".

The problem with that is the "standard" for such (right wing terrorism) is no longer a standard or reliable guide to follow.

Reminds me of playing the game 'Battleship!' as a kid; if every time your opponent made a 'hit' on one of your ships, you moved the piece over and claimed 'miss!', eventually, the board is mapped out on one side (leaving no place to hide) and the other, remain ships with no acknowledged hits but that are hit nonetheless.

The ships are "terrorist attacks", the mapped board represents the application of logic to identify the attacks according to the shifting SJW "logic".

The side moving the ships to avoid being 'hit' by their own shifting rules, to avoid reality are left with false, unsupported data but those ships were each hit multiple times.

From what I have read, most of the ‘right wing’ terrorism was actually perpetrated by leftists and Democrat supporters against other leftists, once the ‘truth’ is out. But on initial reporting, they are identified as ‘right wing’.

If not for all the mis-attributed terrorism and violence committed by leftists, it would probably be zero.

Right wing violence is the good guy with a gun stopping the bad guy with a gun.
