It's just such a strawman. Yes all extremism is bad... but we are discussing far-right extremism that is currently active and increasing. Saying "Well if left extremists were murdering people that would be just as bad" is such a nothing-statement. I mean... yes. Sure. So what? If/When there's a left-wing extremist terrorist incident in the west, we will discuss and I'm sure condemn that incident and call it what it is. In what way does the existence of two hypothetical extremes mean that we shouldn't call far-right extremism what it is, when it happens? Bizarre logic. All to give false comfort to people who consider themselves right-leaning and "feel attacked", when it's very rare for those people to have any concern for the comfort of others .
