Tim Pool had Cenk Ugyer on as a guest and the two got into a discussion about domestic terrorism. At one point, Ugyer dropped a common thought among many a left-wing non-thinker.
"Most of the domestic terrorists in America right now are right-wingers."
It's a claim you'll hear repeated from major networks as well as your garden-variety internet leftist. To Cenk's credit, he doesn't do what the mainstream media tries to do and make it seem like there's a white Republican hiding under every bed and in every closet, waiting to kill and terrorize who they may.
Still, I'm not sure where he's getting his numbers from. The amount of domestic terrorism in the United States is largely carried out on the left. The most famous of these is Antifa which are known for intimidation, destruction, and violence as a national movement, but there is also Jane's Revenge and other extremist pro-abortion groups, racial advocacy groups including Black Lives Matter extremists, and various communist elements in the U.S., some of which violently took over a block on American territory and called it an "autonomous zone."
Even of those who committed mass shootings over the last decade or so, the vast majority of them sported either apolitical sentiments or extreme leftist ideals, with a few of them actually believing in right-wing causes.
As the conversation continued, Pool began describing how leftists create communities that live in fear of expressing differing political views. He even tells a story about a man who approached him and told him quietly that he's a huge fan, fearing he'd be heard by people around him and subsequently made into a social pariah who might suffer very real violence.
Ugyer's response was...odd.
"That's not terrorism, Tim."

It struck me, at that moment, that the left hasn't just been in denial about left-wing terrorism like I've previously claimed. It gets even worse than that.
They don't know what terrorism is.
You've probably been scratching your head over how people could see what Hamas was doing to the Israeli people and heartlessly applaud. Then stand dumbfounded as they react by gnashing teeth and rending clothing whenever Israel begins leveling terrorist hideouts in the Gaza Strip. While it's absolutely clear to you who the real terrorists are, the radical left points at the terrorists being the ones sporting the Star of David.
Here at home, they claim that the real terrorists worship at church on Sundays and appear in front of abortion clinics to protest the murder of innocent children. They proclaim that right-leaning speakers like Ben Shapiro or Chalie Kirk are responsible for the terrorism that leads to the deaths of entire groups of Americans such as transgender people, and will gather in large mobs to damage property, terrorizing attendees while proclaiming they're the good guys.
They've crawled up their own hind parts so far that they've lost their hold on reality when it comes to what is and isn't terrorism. They'll watch a Crisis Pregnancy Center get firebombed and not see it. They'll watch Antifa help destroy and burn an entire town and refuse to call it terrorism. They'll watch Black Lives Matter destroy and even kill and call it "expression" and "reparations."
They've convinced themselves that if it's terrorism in the name of a leftist cause then it can't be terrorism. Like the concept of racism, they see it only qualifying as terrorism if it meets certain criteria, and if it has anything to do with leftism...it's not terrorism.
I don't think I need to tell you how dangerous of a mentality that is. It's clear that these kids have been taught a specific definition of terrorism and even if they were to organize, destroy, intimidate, and even assault and murder under a banner, they still wouldn't consider it terrorism.
Radical leftism makes you blind, deaf, and dumb.
