DFLA v FLAF (Ex Football Hooligans)

Will never listen to the opinions of people who used to leave the house with the sole purpose of having a fight.
 
Any examples from this century?

In the last 100 years there have been loads.

The Kingsmill Massacre is the first one that springs to mind, carried out by the Provisional IRA with their political wing the Socialist Sinn Fein in the background.

The IPLO were unashamedly hardline left-wing socialists too. Pretty sure they shot up a Protestant boozer which included fatalities.

North Korea and China are particularly brutal left-wing regimes. Check their human rights records.

Then you've got AntiFA who run about the USA with baseball bats. Pretty sure their violent 'protest' as Berkely involved them trying to burn down the place. Tons of examples of these cowards lashing out at Trump supporters or anyone they deem not to be 'woke'

There are countless other examples.

While I dislike Antifa they are not on the same level as the far right, at least not in the USA.
So far I don't think one person has been killed by them as opposed to many by the far right.

I had a look at the list of major domestic terrorism attacks in the US since the 1960's and almost all of them were done by the far right.

As for the OP: Both of them seem a bit silly to me.

While you are right that "the left" have caused a lot of death and destruction, you can't boil the troubles down to a Left v Right thing. The UVF political wing leaned to the left. It's a mentally challenged myth that Loyalists are/were right wing fanatics.

I agree that the PUP are left wing but the PUP/UVF are a completely different animal from SF/IRA. It's unfair to see them as 2 sides of the same coin.

It cannot be denied that Sinn Fein are Socialist though. Even the likes of James Connolly in the IRA's recent-ish history was a Socialist. The provos were basically a lefty outfit fighting for a left wing ideology.

There's far more logic in calling out Republican violence as left wing than calling an anti-Islamic killer 'far right' which the media routinely does with no come back.

100% mate, I just think people try to make it out like it was IRA (leftist) v Loyalist (right wing) when it wasn't the case, it was far more complex.

The INLA are massively socialist, albeit I think they are very confused on what it actually entails and are just trying to be 'cool'.

The workers strikes during the Troubles led by the Loyalists show the politics were not as some people think.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Fucking hell.

This point scoring from people with opposing views NEEDS TO STOP. It's pathetic and childish.

Wankers exist on both sides of the spectrum but saying 'the left' are violent but then only referring to the 0.000000000001% of left leaning people who have caused violence is both foolish and dangerous.

Not once did I tar all leftists with the same brush or engage in whataboutery. If you read the back all I did was give examples of leftist violence in response to someone who implied that all they do is throw milkshakes.

I was actually making the same point you are making, that there are mad nutjobs on both sides.
