Why Is It Always the Left Calling for Violence?

There are a few things about leftist terrorist groups on which you can always rely:

  1. They attack soft targets.
  2. They always claim to be reacting to violence committed against their grouping, even (maybe especially) when no such violence has taken place, and
  3. They always claim to be "non-violent" while distributing plans on how to attack people and destroy property.

Case in point: A new group has surfaced in the United Kingdom, in response to that country's Supreme Court ruling on human sexual bipolarity. This new group of goblins is calling themselves "Bash Back," implying that they are responding, not attacking; that's their first lie. 

There are more.

The group, known as Bash Back, told activists to form “independent local cells”, “identify a target” — including MPs, organisations and political party conferences — and “ensure your target can be hit repeatedly until they desist” from their “transphobic” activities.

The group set out tactics for what it described as direct action, admitting it would be “rarely legal”, and warned participants they could face charges including criminal damage, possession of an offensive weapon and aggravated trespass. The document also included practical advice on carrying out attacks and how to escape detection afterwards.

Here are a couple of their handouts:

Note that their targets are well defined - members of Parliament, organizations, political and otherwise, and political party conferences. This is the very definition of terrorism: Using or threatening violence to advance a social or political agenda.

"Bash Back," the name of the group in itself a lie, is specific in its instructions for vandalism as well as direct attacks.

An equipment section listed items such as a hammer and advised activists to clean tools with alcohol or dispose of them after use “in unsurveilled residential bins”. It suggested stealing the equipment to avoid being traced.

Activists were told to use encrypted messaging services such as Signal, with disappearing messages enabled.

They were also urged to use pink paint to ensure their actions were recognised as the work of Bash Back.

A promotional image on the document featured the slogan “smash transphobia” alongside a masked figure holding a hammer and an invitation to “choose your weapon”.

You won't find many incitements to violence more clear-cut than this. 

Now, this group is active in the United Kingdom, claiming to be responding to that United Kingdom Supreme Court decision, the one that said that boys are boys and girls are girls, and ne'er the twain shall meet, except in the traditional sense. That's eminently logical to anyone with enough brains to pound sand, but Bash Back sees it as an excuse to attack people and destroy property.

They claim to be reactive. They claim to be non-violent. They think they are justified. None of these things are true.

This is the way it always is with the left. From the Bolshevik Revolution to Mao's Little Red Book, from the Animal Liberation Front to Antifa and now to these Bash Back goblins, these leftist nutballs always feel themselves justified in violence, even as they deride the normally peaceful right for being violent. Here's how that mental process appears to work in their heads:

  1. The right says things we don't like. Words are violence.
  2. The right must be silenced. Violent words have to be silenced.
  3. The right won't listen to demands that they be silenced from speaking words that are violent.
  4. It is retaliation, not an attack, to use physical force to stop the right from speaking or acting.

Now, bear in mind, I can't read minds any more than anyone can; but this sure seems to be how these people react, from screaming and throwing things to actual attacks - including, right here in these United States, two attempts on the life of a former president, then presidential candidate, now again the president. 

And, of course, there was Charlie Kirk.

In fact, you can see the steps of this progression in a statement released by Bash Back in their manifesto:

In a manifesto included in its document, Bash Back said transgender people had been “made the victim” by politics, healthcare and society, adding: “We are so tired, and so angry — and while we take to the streets time and time again with our flags and our banners and our speeches, nothing seems to work.”

Last year JK Rowling, the author and women’s rights campaigner, said politicians needed to “finally” take seriously threats of violence from activists.

Referencing Bash Back’s plans to target MPs’ offices, Rowling talked about “threats and harassment” and accused groups of “doxxing” opponents, which involves maliciously releasing private documents or personal details.

These are not peaceful protestors, no matter what CNN would have us believe. They are not crusaders for a noble cause. They are, pure and simple, terrorist goblins, threatening violence in retaliation for things that have not happened. Britain, for instance, is not a land that is "hostile to trans people." If anything, the once-Great Britain has grown far too spineless to keep any semblance of order in their country, and if transgender people really want something to worry about, they should cast their optics on the UK's ever-growing Muslim population, some of whom are much more experienced at terrorist violence, and who would throw transgender people off rooftops were they to gain control.

But no. They will continue down this path: Blame things that didn't happen on people that did nothing, and threaten them if they do not bend their necks. And they will try it here, too.
