Fun fact, police started the vast majority of riots in the last couple decades. Look up "police riots", police violently dispersing peaceful protests causes riots. But to answer you, no there is no equivalency and to pretend there is when you are supposed to be a expert in your field is fucking absurd.

Pretty sure the folks who advocate for genocide, racial separation, and white supremacy are absolutely the worse side, but if you want to tell me how those might be positive things, I’m willing to listen.

I’m also not sure what mass shootings have been perpetrated or “low income cities” have been burned down by anyone credibly claiming to be left wing, but again, I’m willing to listen. The protests in cities in 2020 aren’t gonna count, those aren’t low income cities, those are cities with multi billion dollar budgets.

Whenever the government comes out with an update about the most pressing dangers regarding domestic terrorism, it’s always ultra right wingers that are the problem.

Yet somehow folks who spend most of their time working with Food Not Bombs or working mutual aid projects are the favorite boogeyman of the right?

Study's have found that 96% of BLM protests were peaceful. But you racists love focusing on the ones that got out of hand. No one's applauding those but you go ahead and keep trying to belittle a movement because you're scared of isolated incidents.

Educate yourself because you're embarrassing yourself.

I have such a low opinion of Political Science professors after a Harvard professor on NPR who was openly republican tried to "both sides" the situation around political extremists. He gave the whole, pendulum swinging but the ideal is probably somewhere in the middle, while also blaming the left for domestic terrorism as if it's anywhere near as prevalent as the right wing loons.
