Summary
Bishop Garrison, a former Pentagon official who led a 2021 investigation into military extremism, warns that recent New Year’s Day attacks by military personnel highlight the ongoing threat of radicalization and distress in the armed forces.
Despite a report recommending counter-extremism measures, its policies were never implemented, facing backlash from right-wing figures, including Trump’s defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.
As Hegseth aims to dismantle counter-extremism programs, Garrison stresses the risks of neglecting the issue, citing cultural and mental health challenges within the military.
The only bad extremism is right wing authoritarianism.
Left wing extremism = the civil rights movement
You can’t be that naive to believe that… The only extremism that is bad is the one I don’t like?
Do you even understand that words mean?
Would you fear a jainist extremist?
Would you tremble before an extremist pacifist?
Different ideologies have different extremists.
I would worry about any extremist, no matter their race, belief system, sexual orientation, or whatever.
Extremists are not around for reasoning, they will implement what they want, no matter the cost, be it left or right wing
Left wing extremism is also authoritarianism
Lol. Fascist apologist
Labelling everyone you disagree with isn’t good argumentative sportsmanship
Take it off my scorecard
And what percentage of violence in the US has ever been caused by leftists? like less than 1% right. GTFO of here with your rightwing lies.
No it’s not. Is your little brain thinking of Soviet-branded communism? Cause that’s not left-wing extremism lol
The Red Army murdered every anarchist they could find
If “soviet-branded communism” isn’t left wing extremism, then what pray tell IS left wing extremism?
