Me: "Neo-Nazi extreme right-wing terrorist groups like Feurkreig Division and Atomwaffen Division want to bring about a race war by causing society to collapse."

Reply guy: "But what about the left? They're more antisemitic than the neo-Nazis."
Uh, excuse me, what?
Yes, antisemitism is a problem irrespective of political leanings, but claiming that the political left, and not just the some of the left, but the whole, entire left down to the last liberal socialist is antisemitic and somehow worse than groups that engage in honest to goodness antisemitic violence is a bit of a tall order.
UK police do consider Left-wing And Single Issue Terrorism (LASIT) a threat, but only by lumping incel terrorism in with environmental action groups. (Source: https://www.protectuk.police.uk/threat-risk/threat-analysis/threat-left-wing-anarchist-and-single-issue-terrorism-lasit ).

@renbymon It could be explained as an "everything else" category, i.e. terrorist threats that aren't Islamist Terrorism or ERWT, but I've seen it used too many times to argue that socialism is some kind of violent, existential threat, when there's zero evidence to suggest that.
