<< A reason that the left has been less violent is that there's a general ideological belief in taking on systems instead of people.

I think you are mistaken in thinking that 'left' ( quotation, because while I want to keep the identifier for clarity's sake, I think it does not properly reflect US political spectrum ) is not violent or that somehow their violence is lower in percentage.

The reason I am hesitatant to go for that discussion is because it has a good chance of derailing the conversation.

Can we just agree this is a bad thing for now instead?

I don't know about the US, but I've certainly seen stats from mostly center sources support that claim for my country
