There's a distinction between Europe and America.  In America, the violence is by left-wing antifa-blm fascists.  In Europe, it makes sense to describe the violence as "right wing," based on Europe's Nazi and Fascist history.

I agree there are differences between Europe and America.  We held lynchings and shoot individuals.  They hold genocidal wars and  force mass migrations of populations.  The conservative here use terrorist organizations and policemen, while using the military is common in Europe.

Still, I would suggest there has been right wing violence in America.  Trump used the military and his secret police against the local government's wishes to prevent protest guaranteed by the First Amendment.  The proud boys among other have sent people into black controlled areas and instigated violence.  The conflict between the KKK,  Neo Nazi, Antifa and lately the Proud Boys 'militia' and nearly the Wolverine Watchman is between elements of both wings, which deserve equal blame.

It is typically partisan of you to emphasize leftist violence, and ignore that of the right.

None of these even begin to approach the invasions of World War II.  Only the right's ignoring of COVID even begins to approach the same number of deaths.

Is ignoring COVID and the crisis tendency to sacrifice for the common good a right wing tendency in Europe as well?  It seems to have become quite partisan in America.
