slapping “Nazi” or “Commie”
This is a silly "both sides" argument. Show me the last time someone made a communist salute on national television. Your entire post sounds like trying to downplay the obvious fact that political violence is much more common from right-wing parties than left-wing parties.

No need for a "communist salute" when they simply declare themselves as such in the open. Hell, remember the Che Guevara tshirts? Brutal murderer, everyone just shrugged.
I have criticized the "both sides" rhetoric in the past, then Oct. 7 happened and people cheered. They defied their own anti-racist ideology to engage in hate, and I knew from that moment that all that rhetoric was essentially fake.
Edited because the original was a bit too personal.
