There is also the danger that if you keep equating Antifa with the right wing extremists shooting people you create a space on the ultra left for people who would do those things and I’m sure in any large movement those people are there.
It’s not like left wing groups haven’t done horrible things in decades past.
That said at the moment in the US it’s pretty clear that the body count (literal) is piling up on the right wing side.
Honestly if people could just stop shooting people for stupid reasons it would be awesome.
As an external observer it seems like the US is slowly sliding towards a worse state of affairs, the government seems unable to get it in hand, dangerous times.
Not much better over in the UK either, we have the ever present threat of the islamists, the border question in Northern Ireland hanging over everyone’s heads (I’m just old enough to to remember the IRA blowing up town centres on the mainland) and a group of people who are seriously pissed off brexit hasn’t happened yet, We already had a lovely MP shot to death by a right wing nut bag and there is a really ugly mood, people are really pissed off with the present state of affairs and another recession caused by economic fallout of brexit could light the touch paper.
I think there is a significant (though small) chance we’ll see troops on the streets peacekeeping over the next two years.
