Looking at the dichotomy between "right" and "left", and seeing that the left is truly violent while the "right" is incredibly passive, some thoughts came to mind.

Why is the left violent? Because that is their philosophy, at its core. The world is unjust, and so "we" must do something about that. What can be done? Their answer is to tear down all institutions of power. They think that anyone who is stronger than them is a threat to them. And so they lash out wildly against anyone and everyone, endlessly. Whatever the problem is -- it's not the left, it's everyone else!

Why isn't the right violent? Because that is their philosophy at its core. The world is unjust, and "we" must do something about that. What can be done? Their answer is that by rightly living, they can ease and perhaps even end some of the suffering. They think that they have some power and that they must use that power wisely. Anyone stronger than them isn't necessarily a threat, but a potential partner or ally. And so they seek to reconcile and arbitrate disputes.

I don't see how these two philosophies will ever reconcile. The left is a cancer that the right has created by its passivity and reconciliatory nature. And leftists who take two moments to think seriously will always end up in the right.

Progressive leftists are consumed by evil ideation. Vices control the mind’s of leftists, sexual degeneracy, drug abuse, jealousy and envy, they’re weak people both physically and mentally, they are usually spoiled brats, they refuse to work hard for anything, self culpability is completely foreign to them, they HATE anyone who is successful because ultimately, successful people are a reminder to them of just how pathetic they are. They want to destroy the world because they can’t find real meaning in life, and the ironic thing is, between their selfish mindset that drives all of their vices, along with progressive ideals such as feminism, they’ve been robbed of finding real meaning in life.

The right is generally the opposite mindset, thus we are less prone to creating chaos for no logical reason, knowing that chaos holds the potential to rob us of what we love. I wouldn’t say we are less violent, the military has traditionally been chocked full of right wing White males who are very violent when we think it’s called for. Our violence is driven by righteous intentions like protecting what we love, be it our family or our nation.

It's almost "good v. evil", but the right in America is not taking the necessary steps to actually be good. They think that not doing evil is enough. It's not. We must be intolerant of evil and be aggressive in expelling it from our society. And I don't mean deportation.

This neo-nazi or alt-right or whatever movement is running, it seems, on people who are realizing that simply self-improving and such is not enough. At some point we're going to have to use violence to secure peace. Too many of us are hoping that the left will initiate the violence to such a scale that we wouldn't feel internally conflicted for wiping them off the planet, but I think the left knows that and won't take things that far for that reason.
