Study finds the far left has embraced ‘assassination culture,’ believing it achieves a political end
2025-05-18
Quantifying the modern American Jacobin.
[LawEnforcementToday] While leftist politicians, activists, and media mouthpieces like to claim that it is the right that is violent, citing the so-called "insurrection" at the US Capitol on January 6. What the left ignores is the vast amount of violence undertaken by those on the political left, such as the 2020 "summer of love," up to the more recent attack on everything Tesla. What leftists are doing is called "projecting," or transferring their own attributes to others, in this case, the conservative right.

Research, however, clearly disputes the contention that violence comes from the right or is even embraced by the right.

Research conducted jointly by Rutgers University and the Network Contagion Research Institute, or NCRI (which tracks digital threats), confirms that fact, according to the New American.

In the study, titled "Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence," Rugers and NCRI post the following introduction:

"Political violence targeting figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk is becoming increasingly normalized, particularly among politically left-leaning segments of the population. Following the attempted assassination of President Trump on July 13, 2024, tolerance and even advocacy for such violence seem to have surged.
So, I wonder who the Left's next targets will be, and what will the created reason that LSD MSM will try to spin?

#2  The Left doesn't believe in tolerating intolerance.
They come right out and say that movements from the right must be eliminated at the moment of thought while movements from the left be granted unlimited tolerance, including violence.
They're consistent.
