The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Yep.. Whats crazy, is that literally a few months ago, everyone was pointing out how weird the nutters on the right wing are. And how rediculous the gun nuts are

Now, somehow, there seems to have been some kind of concerted campaign that have made a lot of these people start to act exactly like the extreme right, where shooting seemingly anyone you don't like is apparently "ok". But at least a lot of those guys tied them to random conspiracy theories, whereas, what I'm seeing suddenly by some people on the left, is basically just blatant wanting to kill certain people

Well gun supporters have been at war with the truth for a long time. People I call gun nutters have an unhealthy obsession with guns. They keep them unsecured and loaded and like to fantasize about killing people in "self defense".

America's obsession with guns definitely cuts both ways but when you compare the left and right wing 95% of attacks come from the right. It is an unfortunate reality but the people who we can least trust are the ones who are the most for guns.

Really though this is a problem of regulation. Commercial interests have manipulated people into buying tools they don't need which are misused and cause untold suffering.

"And here we see a wild false equivalency in it's natural habitat. Camouflaged and perfectly suited to it's environment, it goes unnoticed by many"

"Some humans have started recording the mating calls of this and other closely related cousins in the misinformationum ridiculosus family in hope of harnessing the power of the sounds for themselves, results have been varied"

Yeah, I cringe whenever I hear about the murderous left. Propaganda is one hell of a drug.

I am a left winger. I've voted for the greens since I started voting

And sorry, but America is full of crazies who are just calling for violence now.

The right wing is calling for murdering random people like fauci, whereas a lot of people from the left seem to be happy CEO's are getting shot and encouraging it

It's totally fucked. And yes, even Reddit is doing a better job moderating it at the moment.

Nobody should be encouraging murder. Has this actually improved the health care at United? No. They'll just replace the CEO and get more body guards

But, if you encourage the development of laws, that might have an impact. Or it would have, until you guys voted for Trump

Being left or right doesn't change what a false equivalency is neither does describing each side in more detail.

This is

"I'm a left winger, the smooth mostly round seeded fruit that shares a name with the color orange is in fact the same as the road vehicle with four wheels, commonly used for transportation of goods that we normally call a car or 'automobile' in the old days"

I mean, I can list the false equivalencies if you like?

To clarify im not saying the point I think you're trying to make is incorrect (though I do disagree with it), I'm saying you're doing a bad job of making it.

If you are going to try and put forth or defend a position don't do it with faulty logic and/or fallacies.
