There are heavily armed RWNJ militias marching in the streets of several major cities across the country right now. This sort of thing would never have happened under a normal administration. But the tRump administration has normalized hate and violence.

(9,527 posts)Taking incidents involving a small unrepresentative sample of a population and trying to use that to extrapolate to the larger population isn't valid for telling you anything. You're taking an infrequent episode involving a population you don't like and ignoring other similarly infrequent about a different population.
Statistically speaking, neither is particularly likely to directly harm you.

(82,849 posts)I'd say that right wing nut jobs are indeed more likely to directly harm me, like that nazi fuck did to Ricky, Taleisin and Micah. And now his ideological compatriots have decided to bring their hatred and violence to the heart of my city.

My prediction is there will be a rwnj terrorist event occurring before any Muslim lifting a finger. Those in the Muslim communities in the US are really watching and making sure there are no Muslim terrorist incidents in their communities.

There is a reason for the concept of the "coastal elites" and people in the pictures above make the bar pretty low to be considered elite.

These people on the other hand, they are increasingly becoming the mirror image of Daesh.

(583 posts)Shouldn't the title of your post be more like
"who are you more afraid of....islamic terrorists or right wing militia hate groups"
I don't think anyone is actually afraid of Muslims in general, or at least a very small percentage of small minded people. Your post is kinda slanted to get a certain answer, and of course there are always the followers that immediately say " RWNJ's of course!!" like it actually means anything.
