      Leon Czolgosz was an anarchist (ergo, leftist) who assassinated McKinley.

      It’s worth considering that the left is weak because the US has spent more resources crushing it than any other ideology, both at home and abroad. It’s not just a recent phenomenon that right wing mass killers get apprehended alive and anyone maybe a bit left gets the shit kicked out of them at best.

          My friend they just explained why you have to go so far back. The US government went absolute psycho mode on leftists in the 1930s at the end of the propaganda-of-the-deed era, deporting and executing people willy nilly often on mere suspicion.

      Why is brooks even in the same sentence as Luigi? One killed a CEO, one drove a car through a crowd of people lol. I really hope you’re just making a point and not using murder as a bragging point for a political view, that would be terrifying. Not really a flex either “man the left doesn’t have as many murderers on their end, what a bunch of pussies”. Lol.
