Oh, sorry, I thought that you replying to my comment meant you were replying to me :)
No worries, all good!
Lots of jumping to conclusions here. You jumped to the conclusion that I was preaching directly at you. I'm generally writing primarily to 3rd party using the discussion as a framework. And no, considering what violent extremists have done in the 20th century, I don't think it's naive at all.
What makes you think I'm normalizing that kind of environment?
Nothing makes me think you are. However, by performing such actions and getting a free pass in the US press, Antifa are doing that kind of normalization. Abrogating people's human rights because of their politics -- this is something that belongs in 3rd world dictatorships, not on US soil.
> It is good to see countries striving for a more neutral treatment of violent actions, from any ends of the political spectrum.
Sorry if you felt I was attacking you. I entirely agree. I criticize the extremes.
