This is what drives me mad. Not so long ago far left was doing some seriously crazy things (I am from Europe so I do remember). And these American mongoloids think far left is someone who just wants to exist.

I hate that I'm asking but what were the 'crazy things'?

[–] tortina_original@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Plane hijackings, bombings, kidnappings, assassinations, murders and generally doing shit that we haven't seen in quite a while (at least in Europe).

So yeah, calling anything in America or Europe "extreme left" these days is really an indication that person using those terms is a moron.

And in 2025, we have idiotic US "study" that considers mentally ill person that surrenders to police babbling nonsense as a "left wing terrorist attack".

Surreal.
