  Bro idk, I don’t pay attention to extremists except when they’re in the news. Was just trying to give a different viewpoint others might not consider

    I’m not trying to be harsh, but putting it that way is a “both sides” comparison that has repercussions. You can’t even name a single one, much less the many were tried and sent to jail for performing a failed coup. Now you know you’re accidentally moving the Overton Window so I hope you stop.

      So I’m wondering maybe far right individuals are just better at spreading their message than far left people. If I remember correctly wasn’t Green Peace a pretty terrible group back in the 80s(?), think they bombed places right? I think they reformed from that and are ok now but I never hear from them anymore. You might consider PETA a far left group too

        Both Green Peace and Peta are Climate and and animal activists, they’re not a political organization like say, the Republicans. The Republican former president tried to take over our country by force, they are not equal. Are we going through the list of ways to deflect?

        I don’t think either peta or Greenpeace have ever engaged in bombings or similar violence. They are both groups that engage in non-violent direct action.

        Yes, the right has a more powerful propaganda network because the ultra-rich overwhelmingly support their ideology and donate huge amounts of money to amplify their messages. Unfortunately, it seems you, like most in the West, have fallen prey to it.
