In newly released audio, former President Donald Trump said that "it doesn't matter" if a person is the "most horrible human being" because all that matters are ratings.
Itās mostly right wingers who murder for political reasons. When you know deep down your worldview is a snakepit, thatās when you decide to take the law into your own hands like that.
John Wilkes Booth was part of the Know Nothing Party a left leaning party
Lee Harvey Oswald was a socialist which is left leaning
Both women that shot at Gerald R Ford were part of different left leaning programs
Actually looks like most of the assissinations are done from left leaning individuals. Not that Iām taking sides on that matter just a cursory Google search
Well the thread and comment you replied to was about political assassinations, so what do mass shootings have to do with the conversation at all? Youāre not wrong, itās just irrelevant here.
The point is in current America, Right Wing followers are much, much more likely to enact violence. And they do. With the Right Wing leadership continuously giving arms manufacturers a pass despite almost weekly mass shootings, via Russian bribes funneled through the NRA, itās blatantly obvious they want their followers armed when they finally enact their Right Wing Theocratic Oligarchy. Theyāll just demonize who they want dead via Right Wing Media (Fox, OAN, NewsMax, Shapiro, Walsh, etc.,) and their perpetually frightened followers will make it happen.
Again, fuck Putin, and any of his Tankie fellators.
Considering what these presidents were doing politically when they were assassinated for their politics, this sounds like a mighty convenient narrative for a dogmatically anti-communist state to feed to the populace after the fact.
OK for what one? Itās common knowledge about both Lee Harvey Oswald (who went to russia) and John Wilkes Booth. Squeeky fromme (who tried ti shoot Ford) was a member of the Manson cult you can look on Wikipedia for that if you want here is the Wikipedia link for Sara Moore https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Jane_Moore
Interesting choices. I think the only valid one there would be the second attempt on Gerald Ford (Sara Jane Moore), who wanted to spark a revolution.
The first attempt on him was by one of the Mason Family (Lynette Fromme), who were sometimes described as hippies, but were also keen on bringing about a race war.
John Wilkes Booth seems surprising to call left leaning, as he was pro-confederacy and angry about the abolition of slavery.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a Soviet defector, and did indeed call himself a socialist. However thereās the whole probable scenario that he wasnāt actually the shooter and never went on trial.
To mention other presidential assassinations, thereās Charles J. Guiteau, assassin of PresidentĀ James A. Garfield, who was a loyal republican, but felt he was personally wronged by the President (as well as mental illness).
Leon Czolgosz, assassin of PresidentĀ William McKinley would probably support your hypothesis more than the others, as an anarchist.
All in all, not really overwhelmingly left leaning.
No. āRepublicanā does not equal āRight wingā. Maybe in the modern context, but political parties evolve and shift on the left right scale over time. The Republican party was originally established as a less Conservative opposition to the Democrats.
Besides, the policial party pushing for the thing is surely much less important than the thing itself. The act of enslaving a portion of the population, based entirely on racial divisions, is an extremely right wing position.
Racism isnāt inherently a political issue and isnāt the whole story of slavery, but is a major factor when talking about enslaving a race. However, its close relationship to other major factors like colonialism, nationalism, supremacism and xenophobia, as well as financial structures allowing such enslavement and ownership, are all found well to the right of the spectrum.
I donāt have time. The problem is that academics do not want to be seen as making a political statement so you have to find a particular type of source.
Iāve definitely seen and fact checked lists of terrorist acts aside their committersā political leanings. Most of them are right wingers, in the US at least. Thatās been true since at least the 80s

OK so this was Interesting so I dug into it

Even if thats the case, it implicitly suggests that leftists go after the powerful while rights go after the people. Their peers
What situation are you thinking of when you think of the right killing their peers for political reasons?
Then why are 99% of mass shooters right wing?
Fuck Putin, by the way.
The left is educated enough to know specifically who they want to kill. The right just wants everyone thatās not them to die
Since when are mass shooters assassinating political leaders?
What that have to do with the vast majority of mass shooters being right wing lunatics?

"Well, achly, Iām going to be obtuse and deflect from the actual issue by being pedantic. Checkmate, libcuck! "
Youāre not smart, or clever.
I think they are pretty well split.

I think your confused. The abolition of slavery was a right wing thing.
The want to have a slaves was left wing

How is enslaving a race a right wing thing?

However, its close relationship to other major factors like colonialism, nationalism, supremacism and xenophobia, as well as financial structures allowing such enslavement and ownership, are all found well to the right of the spectrum.
Ironically itās also extremely left wing position.
Iām not digging it back up but Iāve seen a lot of evidence that is exact opposite to what youāre concluding.
I wish you would
