    Cool, capitalism is violent with its mere existence. Left-wing violence is self defense.

      Nope, it's an old article and really doesn't say anything of substance:

        The sharp rise in Violent/Aggressive Discourse in the Extreme Left is an artifact of the inclusion of Hexbear.net.

          This is hilarious, but looking at the rest of the data, the "extreme left" doesn't even get off the x-axis lol

            I remember the data analysis for this was fucked. It just used word lists and logic that would make detect leftists discussing right-wing violence as violent content itself. At least they were public about the methodology it just sucked.

            It happens to work pretty well with the Q people, definitely incels, and pretty much all right-wing forums though. The worst you can find on here amounts to wondering why mass violence is never directed at the those responsible, praising slaveowner liquidation. The congressional baseball game guy was the only notable example in modern times.

            Meanwhile on the right....

            violence

            Incels: every single thread contains rhetoric encouraging mass violence, express desire to kill women

            Q: routine calls for the deaths of low level bureaucrats who didn't throw down for Donald

            Reich wingers: passing laws to kill trans, gay youths, force pregnancies upon people in the """developed""" country where they're most likely to die, even in cases of raped kids

              Bit idea: take martial arts and then talk about the techniques you learn and how they could damage the human body in a 50 word essay in order to further skew the data set.

              TW//I'm gonna do it

              spoiler

              If I were in an MMA match against my political opponent and I got them in an armbar, it would be dangerous if they didn't submit. As my responsibility is only for my own safety and my goal is to win, I would continue to apply pressure to the joint. Therefore, their arm would get hyper-extended and it would cause damage to the joint, ultimately it would likely tear ligaments. In extreme cases you could pop the elbow out of place. A referee intervenes on their behalf at that point. It's a combat sport, but it's not a blood sport; you're not supposed to butcher each other.

          Iirc it was because the way we used to hide posts older than 3 months was screwing with their data collection so it looked like there was a sharp increase 3 months before the paper was published

    Forever love how the most common pic used to represent gulags is from Muppets: Most Wanted (2014) and has Kermit being wheeled out if you look closely (obscured by center guy’s head)

        Real answer: In the movie, Kermit has a doppelganger who is a Russian supervillain named Constantine. Constantine escapes from the gulag at the start of the movie, finds Kermit and takes his place while letting Kermit get captured by the police, the police believing Kermit to be his evil doppelganger. That's how he ends up in the gulag.

        Fun fact: That's where this meme template comes from. Muppets: Most Wanted is a great movie tbh, you should watch it. It has Ricky Gervais in it but it's really funny even in spite of that.

        He was mistaken for his criminal overlord doppelgänger Constantine (who had recently escaped said gulag)

    And the far-right ISN'T like this? They commit hate crimes on a constant basis, but 99.999% of the human race loves them.

        Perspective gets skewed when you live in a fascist westoid country. Visit China or Cuba and see how based everyone is. (Not Shanghai, Shanghai is cringe)

      We need a vanguard instance and a mass line instance. Thank you hexbear for holding the mass line strongly!

    This is no time to stop the violent discourse! I hope every liberal and right wing thinker stubs their toe really bad, and then they stick their toe in their mouth because of the pain, and then they just zone out, but their toenail continues to grow and punctures the back of their throat and curls around and comes out of their eye, and then when they snap back to reality and pull their foot out of their mouth they accidentally rip off their entire face and their brain falls out on the floor, and we all point and laugh because their brain is so small and smooth! That would be just swell!
