[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They had some serious methodological issues. Perhaps the biggest being excluding 9/11.[/quote]

Everyone who studies extremist violence excludes 9/11.  Or is it just anyone who concludes right-wing violence is the problem?  You know, the Cato Institute and the Anti-Defamation League?  Or are you prepared to call both of them radical leftist organizations too since they conclude exactly the same thing.  The problem is the right.[/quote]

Oh, everyone excludes it. That makes it right rather than a sign of institutional bias. I’m sure everyone accurately categorized other events because they are unbiased experts.[/quote]

9/11 was Islamic extremism you idiot.  It has zero bearing when comparing left-wing to right-wing.  Unless, the right wants to adopt them as being compatriots in the religious zealotry category.[/quote]
Islamic extremism is one of the report’s categories. The report looks back to 1990 so it can include OKC, but then they need to pretend 9/11 didn’t happen to get the conclusions they wanted. Which is why this report is garbage and being pulled.
Hopefully the authors were fired and replaced with AI.[/quote]

Once again, Islamic extremism is irrelevant to the left/Right polemic.  And OKC was Timothy McVeigh.  Ultra-right wing anti-government.  And Terry whoever.  Another ultra-right wing terrorist.

Just for giggles, assume they included 9/11.  What then?

Just looking since 2020, the right is responsible for twice as many incidents as the left.  "Terrorism since 2020 paints a slightly different picture. Since January 1, 2020, terrorists have murdered 81 people in attacks on US soil that account for about 0.07 percent of all homicides during that time (estimated for 2025 so far). Right-wing terrorists account for over half of those murders, Islamists for 21 percent, left-wingers for 22 percent, and 1 percent had unknown or other motivations. There are not many politically motivated terrorist killings in the United States." https://www.cato.org/blog/politically-motivated-violence-rare-united-states.

And for the years 2022, 23 and 24, the right is responsible for 100% of all politically motivated killings (according to MAGA's zionist buddies at the ADL).  https://www.adl.org/resources/report/murder-and-extremism-united-states-2024[/quote]
