“Antifa” and BLM never rioted.
94% of BLM protests were peaceful, and the 6% that were violent were almost always caused by right wingers, republicans, conservatives, white supremacists, and counter protestors.
That’s right, YOU GUYS were responsible for that violence, because YOUR SIDE went to those protests with the express purpose of causing violence.
BLM and antifascists were and are peaceful.

In fact it's often right-wing provocateurs tried to incite violence:

Additionally, the vast majority of domestic terror attacks in the US in recent years have all been perpetrated by the violent right:
https://www.npr.org/2020/06/21/880963592/vehicle-attacks-rise-as-extremists-target-protesters
Right-wing extremists are turning cars into weapons, with reports of at least 50 vehicle-ramming incidents since protests against police violence erupted nationwide in late May.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/22/white-supremacists-rightwing-domestic-terror-2020
White supremacists and other rightwing extremists have been responsible for 67% of domestic terror attacks and plots so far this year, with at least half of that violence targeting protesters, according to a new analysis from a centrist thinktank.
Rightoid terrorists using ISIS terror tactics to suppress the freedom to protest.
The first step toward recovery is to admit you have a problem, I've never denied the possibility that there were agitators out there
Honestly though, you are utterly delusional if you think that it's only the agitators that did the damage
There'd be a whole lot of arrest records of right wing folks if that were the case.
Which there aren't, not in numbers to support your claim.
and you're beyond a blithering idiot who barely has the brain function to keep from drooling on everything if you think there were right wing people in chop doing the collection of murders and all the damage there.
Grow up and accept the portion of responsibility your side has, I don't care which side you're on.
This man was not murdered by right wingers, he was murdered by violent blm rioters

You recently reposted a screenshot of a tweet about DDG blocking independent news sources. The article from the tweet (from newspunch.com) was debunked as totally fabricated and refuted as fake news, FYI
Newspunch is listed as a fake news site here, which also has some more history on another name they've used: https://www.factcheck.org/2017/07/websites-post-fake-satirical-stories/
The claimed censorship was in March 2022 and was in reference to the downranking of Russian misinformation sites in the wake of the attack on Ukraine, which DDG announced publicly (like many other search engines).
More info here: https://heavy.com/news/duckduckgo-ceo-not-purging-independent-media/
Sorry for the wall of text, just thought you might want to know about sharing misinformation.
Oh crap. Thank you! I knew I should have checked that before reblogging.

Been thinking a lot about the last 5 years, and where we were in the thick of Trump-culture. We were all tired, beleaguered, and lured into a gradual acceptance and higher tolerance scale of perpetual outrage at things that should've never been allowed to happen.
This was a post I put out in reply to a typical d!psh!t poster on Reddit. It included a link to an iconic post from /r/Fuckthealtright. Both catalog a laundry list of atrocities and threats coming from the overlap of GOP/white supremacists/Islamaphobes/Trumpers/libertarians and conservative whatnot going back to 2014. The post became so weighty, that by the tenth time I updates it, Reddit informed me I had reached my character limit (again), and I could only compress it down so much to accommodate for each new inevitable threat coming from the right. That alone should say a enough in squashing any "bOTh SIdEs" argument or BS attempt to frame the left ("antifa", etc.) as dangerous.
Shame I gave up though, even all during COVID we had nuts driving trains into boats, Q-nuts speargunning their kids or killing their family (or selves), conspiracy nuts detonating RVs during the holidays, people trying to run campaign buses off roads, hit squads sent to shoot up houses of opposing politicians in New Mexico, school/mall (from this: https://heavy.com/news/2019/08/patrick-crusius/ to this: https://heavy.com/news/mauricio-garcia/ ) /supermarket shootings, sickos attacking the spouses of congressional leaders, attempts on synagogues, attempts on power grids (from this: https://heavy.com/news/moore-county-power-outage-substation-attack/ to this: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64493319 -which included a person mentioned in my previous links-the Nazi was written about in Rolling Stone, but while imprisoned, they networked with more people to make attempts-like he had always boasted-once released.) and the mess that was the January 6th insurrection....and still much more.....
