      I guess if some like that poster are squeezed a little they let their inner bigot out.

            This is an example of your typical disinterest in truth that I find really disturbing.

            Your smug patronizing oozes from every post you make.
            I think your posts ooze with nastiness. I don't see how you reconcile that with your alleged Christianity, or frankly with your being Canadian (are you American by birth maybe?).

I don't claim to know how many attempts were made and have never stated a number in my posts.


              With regard to political violence, my understanding of both the international and US data is that right-wingers are several orders of magnitude more violent than left-wingers with regard to political violence. The exception is self-identified communist revolutionary groups (there are none active in the US), whose violence is often on-par with right-wing groups. (I have had discussions elsewhere in this forum about whether it is actually helpful to group communists in with other 'left-wing' groups due to the tendency of communists to be more similar to right-wing groups than left-wing ones with regard to numerous aspects)
              My main complaint was with Reep, who throws false information around and you accept it without inquiry because it fit your worldview. I assume you also accepted the "Bear in mind Right-wing extremists have killed 329 victims in the last 25 years [in the US], while Antifa members haven't killed any" without checking.

That doesn't make him antifa. The police conclusion appeared to be that his attack had no political nor racial motivation. Can you understand that "he, once in his life, liked an antifa tweet" and "he himself was an active member of antifa" and "he committed the act because he was an active member of antifa" are three different things?
                I'm guessing you haven't dissected any details surrounding the "Right-wing extremists have killed 329" claim you made earlier, as you have done here to excuse this one person's political connections.

                  You have no idea what Christianity is. I have never seen nastier people in my life than the majority of atheists and liberal so-called "Christians" on this site. And like my Lord, I have no problem calling out hypocrisy in your ilk when I see it.

                      Sorry. I don't believe you were ever a Christian. You might have thought you were, but you weren't. And I certainly wouldn't waste my time reading anything that a "former" Christian wrote about Christianity. And, again, you have proved my point about how patronizing you are to those of us with "lesser" intelligence.

                        Perhaps you assumed wrong about the level of belief I have/had in Reep's statements? I simply acknowledged that his account was loosely similar to what I'd heard from another Canadian 15 years ago. Personally, I found his count of 20 invasion attempts more amusing than credible (but I accept that the definition of what constitutes an invasion attempt is vague, and I don't personally know enough on the history of Canada to challenge his own account of the history of his own country... contrary to Mossrose's ignorant claims I only correct people if I've good reason to think I'm right and they're not).

                        I assume you also accepted the "Bear in mind Right-wing extremists have killed 329 victims in the last 25 years [in the US], while Antifa members haven't killed any" without checking.
                        The quality of the sources cited was reasonable - expert analyses of the deaths, confirmed by other experts. I'll defer to a scientific study - I'm not really in a position to be able to look up hundreds of cases across 25 years and redo their work for them. So far I'm not seeing much cause to doubt their conclusions. It's also in agreement with other sources I've seen over the years on US and international terrorism. Likewise the only terrorist attack in my country in that time period was by a right-wing extremist.

                        Seer's article, by contrast was just a right-wing opinion piece and it listed the details of each case so it was easy to read and see why the conclusions the opinion piece writer was trying to draw from them weren't warranted.

                        I'm a scientist and I do generally try to exercise a lot of quality control with regard to what I believe, and because I try to be skeptical of what I read and hear, the strength of my beliefs can be nuanced. Overall I would say I've seen a sufficiently large amount of information from a sufficiently large variety of credible sources, to say that right-wingers do far more, and far more serious, political violence in general than left-wingers (literal communists excluded).

                          And you call me patronizing? But then you say things like this?

                          I was a Christian when I wrote it. It wasn't "I'm an ex-Christian and think Christianity sucks for these 1001 reasons!" You don't have to read it, or any books for that matter.

                          And, again, you have proved my point about how patronizing you are to those of us with "lesser" intelligence.
                          I value truth as sacred. I don't do affirmative action for idiots with dumb and false ideas, sorry. If you want me to not view you as an intellectual toddler pooping in your nappies, maybe do less pooping? Less listening to extremist / fake news sources would be a good start. Less buying into "they're all out to get us" conspiracy mongering would also be an improvement.

                            No matter what anybody does you would view them as intellectually inferior to yourself.

                            And you assume much when you think you know what I read or "buy into". To know anything at all about those things you would have to know the operation of my mind, or perhaps be omniscient like the God you think you once knew.

                              Are you saying your 23,000 posts on this forum provide no information at all?

                              That's a far harsher assessment of your posts than even I would have given.

                                The protesters appeared to have believed he had tried to run them over. There have been various incidents of this in the past, so they probably have reasonable cause to be concerned about it. In this case though it appears the man was probably just drunk-driving, so that probably explains the erratic nature of his driving rather than an intent to harm the protesters.

                                A leftist group causing a death would be truly exceptional. Bear in mind Right-wing extremists have killed 329 victims in the last 25 years [in the US], while Antifa members haven't killed any.
                                Let's see, they attacked him when he was outside of his truck while trying to render assistance and only tried to drive off after being assaulted.

                                So much for they thought he was trying to run them over unless you are suggesting they had psychic visions of him doing so at some future point.

                                Btw, 29 people have died as a result of the riots including several being shot in their cars by antifa or BLM goons. But I'm sure you'll claim they all were trying to run people over like the pair of black teens in Seattle shot as they approached the CHAZ/CHOP barricade and the 8 year old girl in Atlanta as her mother tried to make a U-turn in front of barricades.

                                I'm always still in trouble again
