    Oh, like, idk, say… 3% of the population or something?

    Crazy how fast one can start sounding just like the people they oppose, isn’t it?

    That being said, those sorts of people are well organized, international, willing to commit violence, dramatically outnumber any counter-groups, and have made serious and dramatic inroads into not just political discourse but into politics itself.

    In terms of violent revolutionaries, there are a lot of them, they’re well armed, they’re fairly well-connected and organized, they’ve managed to recruit across all classes, especially the working classes, and they’re definitely not leftist.

      Drawing a parallel between violent revolution of oppressed people and virulently racist bigots because they also use percentages to decribe a thing is asinine. Fuck.off.

        Probably shouldn’t be doing the same thing that they’re doing then huh

        You cannot call them evil then do the exact same thing but YOU are just because YOU think so. They’ll tell you that exact same thing.

          Evil people also eat food, just like you do. Is that why they’re evil? Obviously not. The thing that makes them evil is their motives.

          Fighting someone to help people and fighting someone to oppress someone are both fighting, but one is for good and one is for evil.

          In order to be doing the “same thing” I would have to be suggesting violence as a means to establish a white ethnostate, dipshit.
