It appears that "non-PC" often mean "overtly racist or otherwise prejudiced".

Re: No one?
I see plenty of MSM coverage of antifa and right wing violence. I don't see anyone applauding them. I do see you making up lies.

Re: No one?
There is no right wing violence?
You've lost it. One of the many news items when you Google "right wing violence'".
quote:
Attackers motivated by right-wing political ideologies in the US have committed dozens of shootings, bombings and other acts of violence over the past decade, far more than any other category of domestic extremism, according to a new study.
https://www.presstv.com/...ightwing-violence-Washington-Post
Too close to reality for you, of course.
Plenty of people have denounced antifa when appropriate, and when they break the law they are arrested. When they are not breaking the law, which is most of the time, they have First Amendment rights. Really grinds your gears, that Constitutional Rights stuff, amirite?

Left-wing v. right-wing violence . At the link each incident is linked to details of the incident.
James Fields drove his car into a peaceful crowd in Charlottesville, backed up, and drove in again. He killed Heather Heyer and injured dozens. He was found guilty of murder by a jury of his peers, which recommended a sentence of life plus 419 years (for the other charges) and a fine of $480,000. He has yet to stand trial on federal hate crime charges.
His schoolwork clearly showed neo-Nazi beliefs.
GAO report 27-2300 COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM: Actions Needed to Define Strategy and Assess Progress of Federal Efforts includes a table of 59 right-wing violent incidents that resulted in death(s) from 2002 through 2015. I've extracted that table into Page Not Found and increased the text size. The last entry is:
"Anti-government survivalist extremist killed 3 at Planned Parenthood clinic including a responding police officer 11/27/2015 Colorado Springs"
Those are specifics. Let's see your detailed list of antifa incidents.

And yes, research IS too hard for me.
Then don't post unless you have support in hand, and include that support..

I researched and presented my points and linked to further information for anyone interested.
Lots and lots of right-wing violence. Far more than left-wing violence.
When are you going to research your lies? Oh wait, you aren't. You hold others to a standard you won't even try to meet. Standard right-wing hypocrisy.

All you have is lies and vitriol.
Why aren't you post at Breitbart or Infowars? You could spew your excrement to your heart's content and be idolized for it.
Remember, I proved the extent of right-wing violence with long lists. If you insist on posting the second in a message I will. It'll be huge.

I provided a brief description of each situation and links to more. Posting the content of the links would cover many many pages and be a copyright violation.
But you're too lazy to move your index finger for one click. .
I was not saying right wing violence has never occurred, I had the current context in mind
You said there is no right-wing violence. If you had a qualifier in mind you should have posted it.
quote:
there is no right wing violence, but there is lots of left wing violence against MAGA people
Charlottesville is the current context. I'll post more.

Re: No one?
Neo-Nazis and skinheads and the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers are right wing. Charlottesville was a "unite the right" rally.
You are attempting the "no true Scotsman" or "no true right-winger" fallacy. Your attempt to redefine right-wing to exclude violent groups is a pathetic failure.

Re: No one?
But your semantic points are OK?
Do you you really think none of the members of those groups voted for Trump?
But if you insist...
Antifa is not left wing. Therefore there is no left-wing violence. No problem.

Copying enough to satisfy you would be a copyright violation. Actually,it's obvious nothing will satisfy you.
I'll gladly rewrite them for you at $125/hour, five hour minimum up front.
Isn't it nice now that we know there's no true left-wing violence, just fake left-wingers?

The topic is your lack of any support for your own points and your endless and unreasonable demands for more detail so you don't have to click a mouse button.
Oh, and the established fact there's much more right-wing violence than left violence.

BTW, reading material others have provided is not research. Seeking out previously unreferenced material is research, which I've done for you

You need to present your case in your own words and you have not done that. I've presented allt at you can reasonably expect.
BTW, in Chrome you can add an extension that inverts website colors. High Contrast - Chrome Web Store.
