Manipulate definitions

Each study is careful about the definitions for terrorism. The CIR defines right-wing terrorism as follows: "militia movements, as well as white supremacist, anti-government, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant and anti-abortion extremists, including radical Christians."

These are standard terms Democrats use to attack conservatives — which is the point. The definitions are deliberately vague to increase subjectivity.

The NAF study uses the same broad criteria as the CIR.

The latest CSIS study casts an even wider net for right-wing terrorism by including, "incels," "misogyny," and "hatred based on sexuality or gender identity; and/or opposition to certain policies such as abortion."

Notice that they do not suggest merely opposition to abortion policies — but opposition to certain policies such as abortion. Basically, right-wing terrorists are defined as anyone who opposes the left, plus incels.

For Muslim terrorists, the variables are much more rigid. The CIR criteria for Islamic terrorism is as follows:

We use the term "Islamist" to describe theocratic extremists inspired by groups such as the Taliban, al-Qaida and the Islamic State. We chose the term "Islamist," rather than "Islamic," in an effort to uncouple the Muslim faith from the political ideology of Islamism.
 
Yet here you are, posting this garbage all the while being a victim of propaganda. You know you're being manipulated, right?

Of course you cant


Right .... vs left...

Democrats ...... Republicans
 
Does anyone remember pizza gate?

It seems like both parties have been lying about each other since, basically forever.

The article you're talking about is an outlier. Yes, some leftists want it to be illegal to misgender someone, but most leftists are concerned with global warming or restoring human rights.

There are only two parties in america that can win. So you're using one bs article nobody read to describe 31% of america's population. (likely more)

If your place of employment has one worker with a severe furry porn addiction, should I tell people you're business is hoarding furry porn?

You're taking a few weirdos we don't support and presenting them as the pinnacle of leftist thinking.

I personally know at least two republicans who support abortion. Their party still hates abortion. See how the left and right are their own little melting pots filled to the brim with good and bad ideas?

It's easy to pick on the dumbest possible member of a party, but it would be a lot more honest if we all focused on the core philosophies of either party. You can throw in a outlier here and there to make fun of a party. But don't only use bottom of the barrel thinking to start a conversation.

Nobody is going to defend the media as honest. This entire thread is going to be entirely pointless. People like me will describe how nobody read that article but you, and people like you are going to use half the political spectrum as a verbal toilet.

This isn't debate, it's nonsensical name calling at best.

Yes, it was. The left also legalized cannabis. Pot sales are generating around a billion dollars in revenue now. The right wing only alleges to be for Capitalism in socialism threads.
 
American Thinker - Media Bias/Fact Check

Overall, we rate the American Thinker, Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of conspiracy theories/pseudoscience, use of poor sources and several failed fact checks.

It is true. Those are the terms that the left use to attack anyone that doesn't support their ideology. It is also true that the left defines, and redefines, these terms to suit their immediate political attack needs of the moment.

'anti-government' caught my eye, would seem to be applicable to BLM and their 'give us what we want or we'll burn the system down', the system being defined as government, civilization and society.

Yet, the left have shown ardent support for BLM. Why is that?

It is not unfounded to believe that BLM, and AntiFa for that matter, are the left's 'useful idiots' to further their own quest for ever greater political power and control, regardless of the damage done to the nation in the process.
