Apparently its the right-wing that commits more acts of political violence and murders. I, however, find that sketchy because the only source I can find on it is from the ADL. And even then, they don't show the proof of their results (or I couldn't find it) in the article they posted. So it makes me wonder if they only count certain things as political violence (antifa punching random people in the street not counting for example). Feel free to fact check me
That is basically the case. A lot of “right-wing violence” reports can be summarized as taking any crime committed by someone affiliated with “right-wing” groups and marking them as politically motivated. I remember a few particularly blatant cases of gaming the numbers like some guy killing his uncle to run off with his aunt, and the case of a skinhead who converted to Islam killing his fellow skinhead roommates when they made fun of him for it. They sometimes even include rude posts on the internet as “violence and hate crimes” to make the situation seem worse. On the flip side, it's painfully common for these databases to refuse to consider acts of left-wing violence as such because the perpetrator didn't proclaim that he was doing it based on ideology, even if the background information and choice of targets would make that motivation abundantly clear.
The right does commit more violence.
However, its literally all anti-abortion extremists who have been whipped into a frenzy. These guys are militarized and for some reason nobody talks about them.
