The rise of the far-right (Page 2) MaIvado: 1) This is not the media but factual, even the FBI director, Christopher Wray also confirmed this in the Sept. 17 House Homeland Security committee hearing. "What I can tell you is that, within the domestic terrorism bucket category as a whole, racially-motivated violent extremism is, I think, the biggest bucket within that larger group, and within the racially-motivated violent extremists bucket, people subscribing to some kind of white supremacist-type ideology is certainly the biggest chunk of that," When asked if white supremacists are the largest chunk of the racially-motivated domestic terrorists, he responded with ‘yes’. My statement is correct.  lori100: he's a biden puppet..they all talk like that...demonizing others .....real terrorists kill thousands, angry people don't MaIvado: On June 7, 2017, President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Wray to be the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, replacing James Comey, who was dismissed by Trump on May 9, 2017. Biden did not make the selection. Trump did. MaIvado: “ This analysis makes several arguments. ...far-right terrorism has significantly outpaced terrorism from other types of perpetrators, including from far-left networks and individuals inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Right-wing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994, and the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown significantly during the past six years. Right-wing extremists perpetrated two thirds of the attacks and plots in the United States in 2019 and over 90 percent between January 1 and May 8, 2020. ” [1] [1] https://www.csis.org/analysis/escalating-terrorism-problem-united-states MaIvado: The far-right problem is not reserved to the US. Canada has recently clamped down on far- right extremist groups. Including the ‘Proud Boys’ MaIvado: Has nothing to do with the far-right. Not in the mood tonight for your shit. I already explained that removing the Houthis was necessary to have aid groups work in Yemen. For the people who are suffering right this fucking moment. MaIvado: Then don’t spew your nonsense at me. Not going to be docile when it comes to people who are suffering in a situation beyond their control. The giant midget: International terrorism has declined in past 3 years in my opinion due to the fact that most terrorist organizations have been eliminated somehow and the much less activities of the USA interfering in foreign affairs with its visible armed forces aka boots on the ground. Without the media focus on American troops fighting abroad against terrorism and socalled freedom liberation it has to somehow maintain the ratings up. Domestic terrorism has always existed from the far right far left it only has grown and more visible nowadays due to social media platforms , whereas it's easier to communicate and mobilize 24/7 . No need to establish meetings in remote secretive areas, away from preying eyes where everyone would gathered and hop on a bus to protest/ demostrate whatever their own causes are . Today's technology people contact and assemble very fast and easy.  murrayduan: Have been around for many years and over the decades have witnessed Left and right ideologies. Was even involved in the 60's with marches and protests about the war. I have never witnessed the extreme far left as it is mentioned today and have seen the far right in action. So when I see fear mongering about the far left I ask what exactly are they talking about. I guess the closest thing I have seen is the Black Panther Party in the 60's but even they did a lot of good things in their community. I have never seen much good to come from far right. So can someone explain what is in their mind in regards to Far Left ideology in the US? To me far right is what we saw the last 4 years and before then it was the KKK. Or maybe midget can explain his claim of far left Terrorism? murrayduan: We have all seen far right beliefs in action over the years. Can anyone explain far left beliefs in action? I have heard about it but yet to see it exactly. In fact you can not even see a definition with any consensus. The giant midget: Never said on here anything to fear monger the far right nor the far left As I stated its "" my personal opinion "" Presently Far left has its Antifa and the BLM organization, let's not confuse the BLM organization with the BLM movement Maybe the consensus aren't available because the writers are left leaning Just saying eh. murrayduan: The giant midget: Presently Far left has its Antifa and the BLM organization," How can anyone refer to Antifa as a far left Terrorist organization or even far left. If one claims it is far left they are also saying everyone else in America is supporting Fascism? Now we have more then we should but not nearly that many support a Dictator, Nazism, Racism, xenophobia, etc. Conservatives like to mention Antifa as it gives them a Boogeyman they can say is a Liberal cross to bear. In fact most of America is Antifa. Trump is a Fascist and wannabe Dictator so I guess one can say at least 74 million are Fascists if those 74 million all understand what they are rooting for. But since many are from Southern States which do not populate the sharpest tools in the shed, many do not really understand what they are rooting for. The giant midget: I guess that everyone must submit to your idea that if they say that antifa is far left they are fascist Wow murrayduan: The giant midget: I guess that everyone must submit to your idea that if they say that antifa is far left they are fascist Wow" Wow is right, is it that hard to understand. If one supports a Racist, sexual predator serial liar, serial adulterer, White Supremist how exactly are you not one? If you support Hitler how are you not a Fascist? Conversely if you condemn an idea of Anti-Fascism how are you not for it? Explain. Is that not like saying I don't believe blacks should have equal rights, but I am not a racist? Obviously you did not grasp my post, if you claim to be anti-Fascist is to be far left, and much of America is not far left that means the others would be for Fascism. I would also guess much of the educated Conservatives are not supporting Fascism so that adds to the numbers. You did say: The giant midget: Presently Far left has its Antifa " The rest must be pro Fascist correct?  Adam Southworth: Can you define "fascist" or "racist"? Which "far-right" parties worry you? I don't claim to be an expert on the "far-right" or "fascism", but much of what people class "fascist" now, such as a respect for nations and a desire to preserve national identities, was common sense to most people in western Europe not much more than half a century ago; yet they wouldn't have called themselves "fascists". Many left-wing individuals and groups shared these concerns. Fascism is quite a specific doctrine. (Edited by Adam Southworth) murrayduan: adamsouthworth: Can you define "fascist"? Which "far-right" parties worry you?" No idea who the question is for but let me say, Fascism to me is basically similar to what Trump was trying to achieve. An Autocratic form of Gov. ruled by a Dictatorship, social and economic regimentation and suppression of of opposition. Does that ring a bell from the last 4 years? Hitler is a good example. Trump is an example of an aspiring Fascist. In this Country the ones who pose the most danger are QAnon, Boogaloo Boys, Proud Boys, White Supremacist's of any group, the KKK, Aryan Nation, White Patriot Party, and I guess we can now include the MAGA people. lori100: an Autocratic form of Gov. ruled by a Dictatorship, social and economic regimentation and suppression of of opposition.-------is the dems who oppose all others with different beliefs....cancelling, banning, censoring, de platforming.....they are the fascists who threaten all freedoms and the us!!
