I don't think anyone is saying that all "hate incidents" have been faked (though most of the viral "pro-Trump violence" stories have seemingly turned out false or are still unresolved and lacking in any evidence beyond the initial accusation.) I know hate crimes occur and even one is too many.

For anyone doubting that the narrative should at least be treated skeptically (not dismissed outright) after seeing the hoax list:

How many of the SPLC "hate incidents" include documented violence or have a known perpetrator?

How many of those have led to arrests where the perpetrator is known, or have supporting video evidence of the crime actually occurring?

If there is no video and they haven't yet led to arrests where the perpetrator is known, what would prevent accusations like the hoaxes other have listed from also being included within those stats?

What evidentiary support is required to file a hate incident claim with the SPLC? Do you know? If not, go and look now.

Are you comfortable stating that your degree of confidence is appropriate, now that you know the level of evidentiary support required to file a claim with the SPLC (i.e., literally zero).

Graffiti and other hate incidents matter. They must be stopped. They sicken me. Some of them are surely real, and some of them surely involved folks we'd describe as right-wing.

Still, it's important to avoid conflating graffiti with violent crime, and it's important to distinguish proven cases, known to have right-wing animus from mere allegations when we know for a fact that there has been a spate of recent hoaxes, false flags, and misunderstandings that were uncritically accepted as truth and blamed on Trump supporters.

Do you really not see the damage that can be done to our society, and the additional racial tension that might come, by accepting the media's propensity to largely ignore the long list of hoaxes and the left-wing violence as they create their narratives?

Once we agree that both sides are guilty of violent crimes and that most Americans despise violence and just want to live their lives, we can unite and unequivocally denounce all violence and other hate incidents.

Once we agree that there has been spate of hoaxes that went viral and that have been uncritically accepted, we can work to avoid future wolf-crying so that, hopefully, we can all be a bit more skeptical and give the claims of actual victims the attention and confidence they are due.

This is a lot harder to do when most media outlets largely refuse to factor into their narratives the fact that left-wing violence has also been a serious problem this year, and that hate hoaxes are on the rise.
