There wouldn’t have been any violence in Chancellorsville if the anarchists and their fellow travelers hadn’t shown up.
There never was a “hard-right” rally in Charlottesville. Some bastardized and badly skewed word like “alt-right” was bandied about, but what the hell does that even mean?
The term seems to be applied to people the left wants to set up as straw men. In fact, all these “white supremists” and Neo-Nazis, and even the KKK, represent some form of “command and control” means of taking over rule of people under their territorial claim. Not necessarily a legitimately established government, but a reign of fear and intimidation, ideas that are anathema to those who value individual liberty and the right to quiet enjoyment of acquired property, under a general prosperity as a result of diligent effort at honest work.
What was happening at Charlottesville was the confrontation of several different varieties of “command and control” ideology, like multiple sports teams with a lot of bad blood already, meeting in a tournament of sorts.
“There can be only one!”
And government hadn’t facilitated it!
