So your example of left wing extremism is an unidentified black lives matter member that assassinated a black youth for joyriding, based on assumptions.

It's not exactly the most compelling example of a political motivated assassination, is it. Given I can pull out literally dozens of people killed by right wing extremists with overwhelming evidence and convicted in a court of law.

I'm a centrist, and I'm not even American. Your argument holds less weight than a wet paper bag.

If you are going to present two people killed by left wing extremists - the extremists should be people actually found guilty based on the evidence presented in a court of law, whose motive was also established by the court.

What you have given is a bunch of claims about 2 crimes, only one of which even has a suspect. There have been numerous reports, and frankly, American news media is inherently partisan, a lot of it is inherently unreliable and it is not a credible basis upon which to claim facts.

Let me give you an decent (factual) example of people killed by extremism:

Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, Irving Younger

Who were all killed by Robert Bowers. The attack was motivated by violent antisemitism, according to the evidence presented at trial.

The trial showed he espoused white-supremacist and antisemitic beliefs, promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy theories and opposed refugee resettlement.

His online activity included Holocaust-denial and pro-Nazi statements, according to evidence presented in his federal case.

In June 2023, a federal jury found Bowers guilty on all 63 federal counts, including hate-crime charges.

Bloke's a melon.

Mate.

"it may appear bigger than it is"

Except that it's by far the largest in the US based on the data.

And he wasn't an engineer.

Dat u Elon?

Steve jobs was not a great engineer.

He was ruthless, manipulative and lacking empathy - like Musk.

As I said, he's a marketing genius.

Or maybe "was" is more accurate.

Musk is a marketing genius.

The US is not an ally.

He doesn't give a shit about US lumber or US builders.

If he isn't stuffing his pockets, he's leveraging the populist playbook. In this case, 'scapegoating'.

But let's be honest, he likely has a huge amount of debt. Before he came into office he almost certainly fixed the interest on that debt knowing he could blow inflation through the roof and inflate it away.

I've noticed pretty heavy partisanship here on [flat earth] vs [spherical earth].

Shocking really.
