Re: "the fact is far right is responsible for the vast majority of violence"
Nope.
Murders are rare from both sides, but up till now the right has murdered more people (if you include prison gang murders and the like as "rightist). And the left is catching up.
But...
I asked Grok:
"**Removing fatalities** [emphasis mine] and concentrating instead on lower level violence (riots, property damage, individual assaults,looting, group blockage of travel or free access, arson, attacks on police, courts, federal buildings and offices) is more political violence over the past 10 years rightists or leftist?"
Here's the result:
"Leftists (primarily BLM-linked and Antifa-associated actors) account for substantially more of this lower-level political violence over the past ~10 years (2015–2025).

The rephrased criteria—riots, property damage, individual assaults, group blockades of travel/free access, arson, attacks on police/courts/federal buildings/offices—still show a clear imbalance in volume, duration, geographic spread, and cumulative impact.
The 2020 George Floyd unrest dominates, with right-wing contributions (notably Jan. 6) being far more concentrated and limited in scale.Core Evidence2020 BLM/Antifa unrest (left-wing dominant): ACLED recorded >10,600 demonstrations nationwide in summer 2020, with ~570 violent ones involving clashes, vandalism, looting, barricades, or arson.
BLM-linked events made up the large majority (~73–94% peaceful overall, but the violent subset caused massive effects). Over 2,000 officers injured in the first weeks alone (Major Cities Chiefs Association); broader 2020 figures exceed 900–2,000 officer injuries from protests/riots, plus widespread individual assaults.
policemag.com
Property damage/arson: $1–2 billion in insured losses (costliest civil disorder in U.S. history), with thousands of buildings damaged/burned (e.g., ~700 in Minneapolis).
Sustained arson and vandalism targeted businesses, vehicles, and government sites.
axios.com
Attacks on police/federal sites:
Prolonged sieges (e.g., Portland federal courthouse for 100 nights—arson, fireworks, lasers, assaults).
Autonomous zones (CHOP/CHAZ) involved blockades, occupations, and attacks on police precincts.
Group blockades of highways/roads were common.
Individual assaults:
Part of the violent events, including thrown objects, beatings, and vehicle attacks on officers/civilians.
January 6, 2021 (right-wing): One event with ~$1.5–2.7 million in property damage (mostly vandalism/breaches). ~140–174 officers assaulted/injured. Some blockades and attacks on federal property/police, but limited to hours in one location—no widespread arson, multi-city looting, or sustained campaign.

Broader decade trends:
Other left-wing examples include 2017 inauguration riots, Antifa street clashes, and 2024 campus occupations (vandalism, building takeovers, blockades).
Right-wing activity includes some street clashes (e.g., Proud Boys vs. Antifa) and armed protests, but lower overall volume in these non-lethal categories. CSIS data shows left-wing incidents rising (especially non-lethal) since ~2016, but right-wing still dominates lethal terrorism (excluded here).

Why Leftist Predominance Here?Scale/duration: Hundreds of violent events across dozens of cities over weeks/months vs. episodic right-wing spikes.

You're free to fact check this, but I'm not wrong. I ran it through a couple of others and got verification, but fill your boots.
When it comes to generalized violence: that skews decidedly left.
Why?
Because the left sees violence as justified more often and more broadly than the right. And acts that way.
