Why are people on the right so much more prone to violence than those on the left?

[Anonymous]

They abuse and hunt animals; they abuse children; they beat women. They fight each other, start wars, and love blood sports like boxing. Why?

So just an important addition to this: I was talking about in the US. I have no experience with the politics of conflict in other countries, so I don't have an opinion about that. About the US, I definitely have an opinion, and you can read it above.

[slatyb]

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. They don't have the intelligence to manage conflict productively. Their actions are ruled by their emotions.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

The Germans before WW2 were the most intelligent and most educated people on Earth. They proceeded to murder 50 million people in total before the rest of the world decided to do something about it.

"If you want Peace, Prepare for War."

[slatyb]

@SeekerOfTruth007 That is sadly true. There is a thin line between civil society and totalitarianism. When a substantial portion of the population is economically stressed, they can easily be persuaded by a demagogue promising simple solutions. Most of the rest will go along down that path until they are powerless to prevent a dictatorship. The elite may see what's happening and get out while they still can.

[Staximus]

The two guys that killed more people than anybody in history were both on the left

[Asker]

Again, not in the U. S.

[Staximus]

@OneViewpoint Dictators don’t follow a political ideology or philosophy? Go dye your goatee you silly bastard

[exitseven]

Are they? Who is rioting in Minneapolis and New Jersey, ? Who caused a billion dollars in property damage during the so called summer of love? Who burned Tesla dealerships? Who killed Charlie Kirk? Who killed Brian Thompson?
Just because most sport hunters are conservative does not make them violent.

[Asker]

Who invaded the Capitol?

[exitseven]

It was a mostly peaceful protest of a stolen election.

[Asker]

No, it was mostly a riot. By the way, who got shot dead in Minneapolis and by whom?

[exitseven]

Two people were killed. One brought a loaded gun and confronted federal agents. Another was a protester that tried to run over a federal agent with an SUV.

[Asker]

Everything you just said is a vicious lie.

[exitseven]

review he videos.

[Asker]

There was no stolen election, and if you believe there was, you know what? You're still delusional.

[Asker]

Repeat every single thing you alleged is a vicious lie, and you are pathetic for believing it.

[MrChinaski]

Evidence? Give me data. Give me references.

The Long March, Collectivisation of the Kulaks, The Gulag Archipelago, Pol Pot. That's 65 million deaths.

[Asker]

Yes, but none of those things occured in the US. I should have maybe restricted this to just the right in the US, although in other countries they've been pretty bad too.

[MrChinaski]

The Romans are all bastards,
they have bled us 'till we're white,
they've taken everything we've got
as if it was their right,
and we've got nothing in return
though they make so much fuss,
what have the Romans ever done for us?

What have the Romans,
what have the Romans,
what have the Romans ever done for us?

The aqueduct.
What?
... they, they gave us the aqueduct...

Yes, they did give us that, that's true
And sanitation Yes, that too
The aqueduct I'll grant is one
thing the Romans may have done
And the roads, now they're all new
And the great wines too

Well, apart from the wines and fermentation,
And the canals for navigation
Public health for all the nation
Apart from those, which are a plus,
what have the Romans ever done for us?

What have the Romans,
what have the Romans,
what have the Romans ever done for us?

The baths.
What?
... the public baths...
Oh, yes, yes...

The public baths are a great delight,
and it's safe to walk in the streets at night.
Cheese and medicine, irrigation,
Roman law and education
the circus for our delectation
and the gladiation

Well, apart from medicine, irrigation,
health, roads, cheese and education,
baths and the Circus Maximus,
what have the Romans ever done for us?

What have the Romans,
what have the Romans,
what have the Romans ever done for us?

Brought peace.
Oh, shut up!

[Asker]

The January invasion of the capital, which was violent, and, of course, the American Civil War.

[MrChinaski]

Well that whacky right-wing think tank known as 'Harvard University' says crime is non-partisan:
ash.harvard.edu/.../?utm_source=chatgpt.com

[Asker]

Well, Harvard University can't say whatever it wants because it's constrained by public opinion, which I don't have. I say that the January invasion of the Capitol was violent and that the entire Civil War was violence by the right wing from the South who wanted to continue enslaving people.

[OneViewpoint]

Simple brains require simple absolute answers. They can't deal with complexity or ambiguity. Or change.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Animals are our FOOD. I bet you eat pork chops, but you're too squeamish to think about where they come from.

the rest of your post is just lies.

[lightbulb27]

Right people do seem to be more prone to hurt animals. The other stuff seems not true.

[Anonymous]

Well, some of that's exaggerated. Hunting and guns are self-explanatory tho

[ThisSiteSux]

Right violence only happens after decades of left violence. We are right on time for right violence. White violence. When world wars happen and mud bloods die.

[Asker]

What exactly is a "mud blood" ?

[Asker]

You can't rationally blame the left for the garbage that the right has pulled.

[strateguy632]

animals? only homicide is a crime.

[Asker]

No, that's not the case. Cruelty to animals is criminal.

[Anonymous]

If the right gets violent the left will be no more

[Asker]

The right already is violent and has been for many years. Threats like this just reinforce my belief that the right is violent as hell.
