Coleman Hughes talks to Noah Rothman about his latest book. Which I've read.
“Blood & Progress. A Century of Left-Wing Violence in America”.
"Why only Left-wing violence and not Right-wing violence", the Left will say. “Isn't there more Right wing violence than Left-wing?”
Answer: No, and No.
It's not "just" about Left-wing violence, if you read the book. It's on both sides. But Rothman focuses on the Left. Why? Because there have been plenty of books, articles and analyses of Right-wing violence while almost none on the Left. As Rothman explains in his book and in the above Conversation with Coleman.
The second "No” is about there being more violence on the Right than on the Left. The data show there is not. For the recent decades it's a statistical construct to claim more political violence on the Right than the Left.
Eg from the Anti-defamation League:

I leave it to Noah to explain why in the video above. In the book it's page 32 et.seq.
This vid comes just a few days after the preliminary trial of the Charlie Kirk killer, Tyler Robinson -- a far Left, furry-lover, living with a trans MtF lover -- which documents extensive evidence of his guilt. and of his increasingly Left-wing leanings.
Despite which both the Left and the Right went loopy.
Coleman says "there are two competing stupidities". On the Left that Robinson was actually a Republican, based solely on the fact that his parents are. On the Right, that it wasn't Robinson, but Egypt, its military or ... something, or... wait a minute! of course! it's the Jooz... !
