Do you think actions like this ultimately scare people away from the left causing people to think leftists are unreasonably unlawful and violent?

    Maybe. But, it will happen nonetheless if the filthy rich don't stop their march.

    Also, the people who feign sympathy for the filthy rich are suffering under the delusion that they are as rich, or will be someday. People with $50 million don't know which side of the wall they're on.

    Who said this person was on the "left"? In any case, who cares. I don't care about winning people over to the "left". I'm a communist, and history has shown that proletarian revolutions aren't primarily composed of politically active "leftists", socialists, etc. Revolutions are made by working class people acting out of self-interest, whether or not they've attained a socialist/communist consciousness (and often times, they haven't).

    Yeah, it's not going to do wonders for polarisation. But on the whole, you do hope that people realise it's a spectrum. Ie, not everyone on the left is a violent terrorist, not everyone on the right is a genocidal racist, and that echo chambers are very much a thing.
