    Kinda funny how we're the ones with the ideology that actually challenges the state and we just....don't commit crimes.

    We never see any of us going into, say, Harrison Arkansas and attacking people. Yet we're the ones routinely demonized on the more popular, democratized media. We're always the bad guys and these shooters are always painted as the good guys, if not the REAL victims.

      And the furthest you could stretch leftist violence would be groups like Red Army Faction, who very specifically targeted capitalists, cops, NATO commanders, et al (and the people who protected them).

        A lot of Red Army Faction's targets were actual, literal Nazis who escaped any consequences after the war and got rich.

      I mean, to be fair. We think most people should have a net improvement in their lives and therefore doing shit like this would go against that goal.

      I steal steaks sometimes, which is basically going to a minority neighbourhood and shooting up the place.
