[Serious] Far-Right Extremism Is a Global Problem

[Irreligious Atheist]

My understanding is that it’s virtually impossible for the US to label any domestic group as a terrorist organization (groups can be classed as a ‘terrorist threat’, which is not the same thing).

The reason is that freedom of assembly makes it unlawful to legislate that belonging to a particular group - in and of itself - is a crime.

Bummer. Letting people freely assemble is really terrible. Next we need to designate any Christian who is against abortion as a terrorist. They deserve it. If they had a magic wand, women would lose all of their rights. Probably even the right to vote or even leave the kitchen. Sounds a lot worse than even racism to me. Better yet, we better designate all Christians as terrorists because some of them have bombed abortion clinics. Guilt by association. A Christian is a Christian, right? No need to differentiate between the violent ones and the lawful ones.

By default, the proud boys are by the nature of their white nationalist/white supremacist idealogy all the above. BLM is not nor is Antifa even if a few morons have committed arson as shown above .

Setting a fire in an apartment building to try and kill people is a little more than arson. It's attempted murder, not to mention the actual murders that BLM supporters have committed. I'm sure the self identified Antifa and BLM supporters just set fire to buildings full of people because they're pyromaniacs or something. They have no demands. They have no political goals. It's a coincidence that the mayor lives in the building. They certainly have no political aims and are just setting fires to try to kill a bunch of people because that's what gets their rocks off.
