NPR column
Color me shocked.. first time ever I've seen "far left" referenced on NPR.
They do go on to mention the "far right", though.
Thoughts?

Last week's fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., is raising fresh concern about an increase in far-left militancy in the U.S.

If, indeed, the suspect planned to kill people because of their Jewish faith, this would represent a major anomaly in lethal, antisemitic violence. "[It] has typically been the violent far right that has conducted attacks against synagogues, mosques, Black churches," said Seth Jones, president of the Defense and Security Department at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "To have someone from the violent far left conduct an attack against individuals based on their Jewish faith is … relatively new in the United States."

They meant with a gun?
Liberals usually shoot cops and Republicans at baseball games...
They usually use blunt force for Jewish people...

thats surprising.
I despise the "far right" label the media gives to people across the world.
Like it there some flow-chart they follow to decide if they can call them a derogatory term like that? A commission of journalists have a powwow to make certain they aren't mislabeling a person or group?
I think we know the truth about how fairly or inaccurately they toss that term around.

I believe, were I to be externally classified, I'd be "far right".
I have nothing in common with the far left, that I know of.. aside from a twinge of desire for some cleansing anarchy.

No… frick Far Left talk - they are all Democrats
See what they are doing? They are easing into changing the narrative trying to separate the woke communists and moderates. Hell to the no. They have been calling every Trump and Republican supporter “Extreme Far Right” for 4 years
There can’t be 2 parties in the Democrats. There can’t be the Far Left loonies and the Moderates - they are ALL Democrats.

I’m stunned. We have witnessed an act of journalism.

You have to kill people to maybe be called far left.
Thinking women can't have penises makes you far right.
It's an improvement, I guess...

I'm actually ok with NPR sticking around
If for no other reason almost every other online publication is full of ads or behind paywalls
The internet has certainly gotten much shittier in this regard

And yet you're oblivious to all the accusations on this board of people being far-left Marxists, regardless of the fact that they don't actually espouse state-owned means of production - or really any socialist positions.
