Kill you with what? A butter knife? The far left has crazies. The far right has crazies with guns.
History has shown time and again that when motivated it is not difficult for any side to acquire arms.
So your comparison is irrelevant in that as soon as someone wants arms they will acquire them.
Ultimately crazies are dangerous either way. It is dangerous to underestimate them or to say one crazy is better than another crazy. Comparing crazies is like saying one poison is healthier than another. Poison is poison.
100% true, but false equivalence can cause you to mis-prioritize a more pressing danger.
People on the right are worried about the crazies on the left canceling them for using the wrong pronoun.
People on every other part of the spectrum are worried about the far right literally ending our democracy. To be clear this is not hyperbole. Just watch a Trump rally these days—he has upped the rhetoric, even for him, to an alarming degree. And it’s met with the frothing cheers of his followers.
No, they're worried about crazies with guns too. Eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_baseball_shootin... was a left wing activist targeting Republicans.
But it is still a worry; right wing politicians get targeted and there is a lot of incitement on the left encouraging it.
Globally, the far left has killed orders of magnitude more (intentionally, Stalin's purges, and unintentionally, Mao's famines).
In the future (or the past) of course it’s possible that the left wing could be (or was) more dangerous. I didn’t even think we had a truly dangerous problem with the far right in this country until Trump brought the crazy out of the shadows, and January 6th drove home the damage they were willing to do for him.
You alter priorities as conditions change. In this present era, we have a serious problem with a violent far right lead by a demagogue that has already shown a propensity for trying to overturn the results of legal elections. The far right has gone up several notches in my “we should be worried about this right now” list as a result. The more pressing danger to prioritize.
For all those people in history, right wing *appeared* more dangerous years before the mass killings happened.
That led to the far left capturing power and leading to disaster.
Both extremes should be condemned irrespective of how likely we think they may act as we are all bad at predicting the future.
You can’t try to tell me the left is worse like you did in your first post, and then try to insist they’re actually equally dangerous when I say the right is the bigger problem. Pick a stance.
There is a very long history of "left" bombings, going all the way to French Revolution. Did the modern left somehow lose the ability to inspire people capable of such actions?
