I don't understand this thread.. whenever a muslim drives a truck of peace through a bunch of pedestrians killing several of them about every week now.
People always respond with the hashtags #notallmuslims #notallfillintherest
Saying the muslim community , not the pedestrians or their families of the ones who got hit and or killed by this truck of peace are the victims. And then becoming scared of the the backlash that has never happened.

But now one guy who was at a right wing rally drives his car into a mob and suddenly damn near all white people are racists lol
How are we so sure this wasn't a single incident like for example those trucks of peace that are supposed to be a single guy every time.
Or how do we know the guy driving the car into the mob didn't even know what he was doing because he wanted to get away in a panic from some antifa members that attacked him?
I read a lot about how extremism on the right is growing and that they are becoming more violent. But I have yet to see violence coming from the right. Maybe I am stupid but I don't see it.
I see them demonstrating sometimes but never violent. From what I've seen it is always the left who instigate violence.
The people on the right seem to be open to debate but the left only answers with certain chants and never actually go in discussion.
The way I see it the only reason people see extremism rise on the right is because people broadened the label and everybody who has a different opinion or viewpoint then the most extreme leftist are labeled nazi, fascist, homophobe etc.
While the actual fascists is antifa itself obviously.

This one guy literally was at a racist rally before driving his car into the protesters and had Nazi/Hitler shit on his Facebook. Its not hard to connect the dots with this guy. I understand your point but he's not the guy to defend, he has a history with neo Nazis and that was well known to his peers.
This is him with the Vanguard America shield, which are self proclaimed fascists. There's no sugar coating it, they are a White nationalist, fascist organization.
Regardless, what's more alarming should be that there was, and continues to be, white nationalist movements in 2017, and openly marching/rallying and yes growing in numbers. That should be much more of a concern then the guy who drove his car into protesters. Sure give him the benefit of the doubt if you want, he has a history of mental illness but so do a lot of terrorists and mass murders, that never stopped anyone before from being labeled a terrorist or a murderer.
But it's odd you say you can't think of any examples of right wing extremist violence. I suppose you're only talking about the protests videos though. You'll definitely find a lot of violent "antifa" videos, because they are violent street protesters. That's their thing. You'll also see violent right ring protesters too, maybe you don't remember those people getting beat up at Trump rallies during his campaign? That's where some of the violence from the "left" came from, in response of that, still wrong nonetheless and doesnt explain these recent idiots. Still though search YouTube and you'll find examples. Clearly a lot of anger amongst these people on both sides.
Or Search for real right wing violence and you'll see much more. Like right-wing terrorism, Anders Behring Breivik in Norway, of course that's Norway but I'm guessing you're familiar with that White Nationalist, since you're European. There are examples like that recently in the US, like Dylan Roof. Numerous recent examples, just not as easy to kill so many people on a tiny island with no where to run, some examples the Portland train attack last month, stabbing of Timothy Caughman, the Olathe, Kansas shooting, Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting, Charleston church shooting (Dylann Roof), ambush attack on Las Vegas police officers, Overland Park Jewish Community Center shooting, etc. That's just a few recently.
I don't think anyone is saying all white people are Nazis. Quite the opposite. You'll notice almost all of these "antifa" people are white lesbians yelling hateful shit (which is hilarious in itself). The political climate is weird here in the US since Trump- extremism, misguided anger, etc. which are all symptoms of a bigger problem frankly.
