Not so. The parcel or daypack bomb left in an office or train is the ultimate coward's weapon. Plenty of leftists would volunteer to leave one at a "right wingers' picnic" and gloat over the slaughter they caused.
My prediction: in CW2 (or DW1) the right will use rifles against specific targets, the left will use bombs against groups they hate, including women and children.
I've written quite a bit about this recently on various strings:
and this one:"The cultural extremists are whipping themselves up for a violent showdown. To anyone who knows some of these people (and I know a lot of them), it is obvious that this ad was just hyperbole and rhetoric---for now.
It is very dangerous hyperbole, however, since words have power and the ever deepening spiral of extremist rhetoric, necessary to overcome the short attention span of the typical extremist supporter, must sooner or later reach a kind of critical mass.
At that point, some spark will ignite the left's counterparts to Tim McVeigh and the years of incitement will explode into lethal violence. Given the herd mentality of the far left, its principal and defining characteristic, this is likely to overcome any collective sense of self-preservation and reach serious dimensions with stunning speed."
An important new variation might be the use of locally recruited collaborators rather than immigrant operatives to execute the attack.....There should be no shortage of willing recruits if the planners know some psychology and have done their homework on the antiwar movement and far left subculture. An ideal recruit would be a socially isolated individual who has already tried to gain social acceptance in a left-wing organization but who has failed through poor social skills or low status rather than any lack of revolutionary zeal. A working class student who has been rejected by middle-class trustafarian lefties for social reasons would be in denial about this, of course, and the most unbalanced would seek some spectacular gesture to guarantee acceptance.
also this, from a different string and based on my infiltration of far-left chat-rooms:
The naive arrogance of these people is mind-boggling.....Their ideas of violent resistance involve such fantasies as burglarizing National Guard armories or using drug-culture connections to secure firearms and heavy weapons. This, in their view, would instantly allow them to "meet the fascists on even terms." Given that the average lefty literally does not know which side of a gun the sights are on, this seems like an invitation to disaster. It is consistent with their ideology and worldview, however, and any expression of skepticism is shouted down.
