>That's the funniest thing I've read in weeks. Leftists cannot get the nerve to band together politically on any kind of consistent basis. T
That could be counter-productive. The left wants "lone wolves" doing this stuff. Banding together and coordinate action would go too far, it would implicate everyone. But if a lone wolf goes too far, they can plead ignorance and pretend that they didn't want that!
And it's unneeded. They just need to goad some of their true believers into "connecting the dots" and taking this burden on themselves. Leave little bread crumbs lying around so they have everything they need. "Look at them they wear masks!" is followed a week later by "here's the list of all their names, photos, and home addresses". Plausibly deniable. "We didn't want them murdered sleeping in their beds, just wanted to protest in front of their homes".
>You don't have to take my word for it.
No need to worry about that. It's not your statements of facts that bother me, but your conclusions and interpretations.
>you can try a Unitarian church service.
It might shock you to learn that I was in one, recently. It was enlightening. If by enlightening I can mean disgusting.

You're describing what they call "stochastic terrorism". To the extent that the left wing practices it (and sure, some do), they learned from the best - the right wing.
This is why overwhelmingly domestic terrorism is a right wing phenomena. It's juuust starting to change this past year with a few attacks which plausibly at least were on the left-wing spectrum. The small town I live in has a group which practices this - any place which hosts any kind of pro-LGBT even gets protested, and then vandalized or receives bomb threats. The last year has been better, but it was A Thing People Were Talking About all over the state for a few years.
