Does Most 21st Century Political Violence In The West Come From The Left Or The Right?

Left

Right

About the same

The left, obviously. Just look at the difference between post-George Floyd death versus post-Charlie Kirk death. Night and day. Liberals have become the most hatefully violent demographic in America.

The BLM riots, ANTIFA riots, Pro-Palestine riots, climate change riots, Roe v Wade riots, Tesla riots and many more riots from the Left should give an obvious answer

In recent years it's definitely the left who has become far more politically violent. Like someone else said, look at the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk murder. There was no violence, only peaceful vigils. If Charlie had been a leftist activist instead, there would have been riots all across the country, many people would have been killed or injured, and there would have been many $millions in property damage. The George Floyd riots caused more than $2 billion in property damage. Violence has become the tool of choice for the left.

It depends on which side you ask. I'd say revolutionary violence and demo violence is mostly from the left but these events tend to be concentrated at single events and against authority where there's a perceived injustice.

Right wing violence tends to be more spread out and directed at individuals or groups based on things like race or religion. It's spread out more across the year and tends to be hate based.

The Reich Wing Authoritarian brain is naturally drawn to violence in the mistaken belief they are the only ones who can "go there". History proves them wrong. When the response comes from the majority, Authoritarian Fascists always pay a heavy price at the hands of an outraged group of people who are tired of their bullshit.

That is already being revealed. Take a look at all of history between now and 1865. Democrats. Republicans have no history of political violence, except for a couple of cranks along the way.

Right wing. It has historically also been the right wing that commits the most political violence by orders of magnitude according to every report including the official numbers published by the FBI. Its not even close.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Right because its all just been the right going on violent riots and celebrating peoples death on social media lately

[Syntosi]

@WhiteBoyChill Pretty much.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I was being sarcastic

[Syntosi]

@WhiteBoyChill I am aware but considering who I am talking to, I'll take it.

[Pterodon]

[DrPepper12]

21st globally it skews right but the 20th aughts & 60s had left wing violence upswing. 30s had both sides.

[Mike_Whocheese_Harry]

Left and it's not even close.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Since the 2000’s it’s been about even

[Anonymous]

Neither. Violence comes from broken people who lack the good sense to know that violence has no place in civilized society

[emeraldsaphire]

Most comes from the center
