re: #460 RadicalModerate

In the US?
Not even close.

Left wing extremists (at least during the past four decades) tend to have rather colorful parades, sometimes clog up streets, and every so often throw a pie (or, if they are feeling really frisky), some paint. Also, they are almost universally shunned by the political establishment.

Right wing extremists, on the other hand, do things like shoot doctors, form groups with the goal of overthowing the government (including using violent methods), and hang out with white nationalist groups.
And in many cases they ARE the political establishment.

I thought the difference was that left wing extremists built bombs and right wing extremists bought guns.
