There was Timothy McVeigh. There was those entitled right winger nutjob ranchers that did an armed takeover of a wildlife preserve a couple years ago.

Or the list of 73 deaths caused by right wing terrorists in the U.S. since 2001.

And now this asshole with the pipeboms from southern FLorida. . IT wasn't TPB was it ??

Tell me again how that guy that shoved someone at a protest proves that only the left is violent.

Facts

https://bsos.umd.edu/featured-content/proportion-terrorist-attacks


In comparison to the 2000s, there was a sharp decline in the proportion of terrorist attacks carried out by left-wing, environmentalist extremists during the first seven years of the 2010s (from 64% to 12%). At the same time, there was a sharp increase in the proportion of attacks carried out by right-wing extremists (from 6% to 35%) and religious extremists (from 9% to 53%) in the United States.

Sorry, attacks by Right wingers have never been anywhere as frequent as Leftists in the 70s and early 80s.

Islamic attacks are the deadliest by far, even excluding 9/11. OKC was a one time thing, 25 years ago, by a lone wolf. The only other right wing terrorist I can think of is Eric Whatshisface, another lone wolf.

Also, one huge problem with this START chart is they separate "Nationalist/Sepratist" violence from Left or Right wing, which is BS. Black Lives Matter and any Black Nationalist terror is most certainly Left Wing. You don't see Angela Davis getting invited to Bob Jones University, but rather Dartmouth. Mumia Abu Jamal isn't a cause at Texas Christian, but is at the Lawyer's Guild and at CUNY.

Oh, okay. As long as violence done by right wingers now, is less than left wingers in the 70s ....? That's your proof that claims on this forum of the left being more violent than the right now is correct ?

73 deaths due to right wing extremists since 2001. Can you point me to data on the number of deaths due to left wing violence this century ?

IF you can't answer this, then what do you say we give those particular insane lies a rest for a couple of days.

Difficult, because SPL and Academics play games with the numbers, sometimes counting Islamism as "Right WIng" and sometimes creating special categories for Leftist Violence like calling BLM inspired terrorism "Nationalist/Separatists".

9/11 should actually be considered Left Wing because all the people apologizing for it, contextualizing it, and insisting we not blame the whole ideology for the event were ... Left.

Here's a deadly Left Wing attack for you, from 2016.
www.youtube.com/embed/_Ft_INPi1_U

Six People Killed, Five of whom were Officers, 9 injured. Probably START has this as a "Separatist Attack" but this was left wing terror.. He also tried to start a gun battle between open carry Leftwing Black Supremacist Protesters and the Cops by shooting at both sides.

Now, show me 6 deaths in an attack in the name of MAGA.

BTW, Louis Farrakhan said "I'm not Anti-Semitic, I'm anti-Termite" the other day. Didn't hear of it? Not Anti-Trump. Also with Ellison's victory in doubt, the Democrat Party Media doesn't want people talking about their relationship, or Obama's relationship with Farrakhan.

That is a dishonest sentiment and you know it.

These lists do a few things consistently. 1) play games w what they classify as terrorism and 2) play games w what they define as "right" 3) hold the left to a far different standard than the right.

The only way to start to see the bias is to see the list. (Notice neither you nor the "source" offers a link to the actual source data.)

However even seeing the list wont fully explain the bias, considering they are hand selecting what they call terrorism in the first place. Ex: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Chicago_torture_incident they would never classify a politically and racially motivated kidnapping as even a hate crime much less a crime of terrorism, cause this is a crime from the left. In fact the much more prevalent black on white violent event would NEVER be classified as hate crime or terrorism.

By comparison these lists attempt to paint any rare white on black crime as terrorism. Just go read the SPLC link wherein they lost some of their examples of terrorism.

It's really weak to post these stats w/o looking at them or even offering the list of events. Do you even care about the truth?

This is mostly a political ruse to get votes for what the oligarchs want. That is lower taxes, a government that they control, and slave labor that is as cheap as possible. Meanwhile environmental regulations down the tubes.

Individual freedoms is a relative thing. I can imagine a future with gated communities for those with trust funds or the lucky few who otherwise have good investment income. And then shanty towns with decaying commons and an ever disappearing middle class. . In "A Tale of Two Cities," wasn't' there a type of individual freedom that the even the wretched poor had ?

How does your theory explain people such as myself who are relatively conservative in many ways ? I'm a big fan of Jordan Peterson and believe very much in individual freedom and deplore the SJW mind set. And yet I see that republicans get and implement all the things the oligarchs want.

THey are getting all the things that they would get if they had defeated a democratic party that you and Patick and all the others with this argument respect to the max, fighting for workers etc. YES DEMOCRATS AREN'T FIGHTING EFFECTIVELY FOR WHAT THEY SHOULD... BUT THEREFORE YOU GIVE REPUBLICANS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WOULD WANT (FOR THEIR OVERLORDS) IF DEMOCRATS WERE FIGHTING FOR WHAT YOU CLAIM THEY SHOULD BE ?

What kind of sense does that make ? All becasue of some fear of communism you see on the left ? WE are moving quickly in to a new guilded age. WE can't even discuss the real issues, such as how to do health care in an economically sensible way, becasue of BS fears the right wing media machine perpetuates.

Immigrants, Islam, and communism oh my. Oh noes, America isn't going to be a white country much longer !! Ahhhhh!

I guess that's as good a reason as any to fuck over the people.

Interesting. Trump is the only one who is pushing to stop unfettered illegal immigration and to have manufacturing return to the USA from China and other low wage areas. Illegal immigrant labor and off -shoring of jobs create downward pressure on wages.

This? You mean the libertarian values that brought freedom to the masses is a political ruse by the oligarchs.

Wrong.

Labeling libertarianism as a ruse by the oligarchs, is itself a ruse by the oligarchs.

marcus says

These are opposites. Lower taxes means your politician has less power, not more.

You mean they scrapped the paris accord plan to tax the world and let the oligarchs control that capital?

You seem to be arguing w yourself. Not allowing the oligarchs to have complete control is somehow a "ruse of the oligarchs".

Source or you made it all up.

Please define how a researcher could determine ideological motivation for a murder.

Then also define right wing extremism or white supremacy. Last I saw a list like this they had the Parkland shooter listed as a right wing terrorist event.

So yeah if you want to look at the 1/1000 US murders defined as done by right winger extremists via biased sources, then somehow suggest 1 out of 1000 murders is all right wingers fault, then your conclusion makes perfect sense.

There's still no link.

Every time I dive into a set of stats like this it has been absolutely horrid processes and disgustingly biased judgement. It says a lot more about the lack of critical thinking skills of the masses who parrot the stats, than it does about any underlying violence problem in "the extreme right" (which you still havent defined).
22   CBOEtrader   2018 Oct 31, 9:12pm  

Lol ok so I went through Marcus's sources above.

SPLC lists 6 right wing terror crimes in 2018. Even the quartz article only shows 60 terrorist "incidents" in 2018.

Compare that to 30000 gun deaths per year. Please recall all the toddlers compared to terrorists death count from a few years back. Now when the right is under their terrorism crucible it's a huge problem... smh.

Riddle me this: do you really think that 60 violent crimes hand selected as terrorist events in 2018 (apparently a HUGE increase from years past) is anything but a hand selected narrative?

Now look at the actual crimes. The total joke SPLC lists Nikolas Cruz, the florida school shooter, as a right wing terrorist because he posted mean things on FB. ^^this is a public example of attributing white supremacy political terrorism to a pointless violent act.

Imagine if we had entire organizations searching chat logs, texts, and emails of all the murderers on death row.

If a murderer saying he hates other groups, how many of the 50 murders a weekend in Chicago could be considered terrorism?

This right wing terrorism trope is a lie. Its designed and presented to manipulate your weak, soft minds.

I believe another "ZOMG Look at Right Wing Terror" had the Denver Movie Theater Crazy Dude on it. Nothing to do with the Right Wing.

Conversely the Muslim Driver who beat down the Hassidic Pedestrian in Brooklyn yelling "ALLAH! " will not be noted as a hate crime, but "Road Rage"
26   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Oct 31, 10:23pm  

Here's another misleading statement:

"But the United States has seen a recent surge in terror-related violence, with 65 attacks last year, up from six in 2006, it said."

A dishonest way of saying
"Last year was the second lowest year of Right Wing Terror in more than a decade."
OR
"We had to go back about a decade to find the next lowest year after the last one."

Interestingly:
The list also includes attacks on a gay bar in Puerto Rico,

And yet UMaryland's database puts it as "Anti-Government Extremist" and making it the 5th deadliest attack in the database,

But I'm sure the SPLC doesn't challenge the "Terrorist Database" unofficial conclusion and will assign all 59 deaths to the "Far Right".

These are the first ten most deadly attacks:



Las Vegas we have officially no motive, the West Fertilizer plant is believed to be arson but there are no suspects or claimants to the attack, and Columbine wasn't a terror attack but Nutjobs.

Even so, the deadliest terror attacks come from 1% of the population.

I'm trying to find a process, any process to actually give a statistical measurement of political violence. Your wikipedia article was helpful, but the definitions are vague at best. It seems to define all political violence as right wing. Ex: anti-govt = right wing, but anti-fascist govt = left wing.... so in this simple example, a terrorist who is fighting against his own govt would only he considered left wing in a tiny fraction of govt systems.

This is why I want your definition. I legit dont see any difference between left/right unless you are talking about team affiliations.

It's almost as if any wrongthinker can be defined as extreme right winger, THEN they only offer ideology as relevant IF (like cruz) they can find posts of him being anti-illegal immigration or whatever.

Try actually discussing something for once and answer this: if you looked into every Chicago murderers text, email, social history do you think you wouldnt find anti-[entergrouphere] hate?

Violence by a perpetrater who at any point expressed political anxiety is enough for SPLC to define that violent person as a terrorist. Imagine if the same rules were applied to the left. Just try. Now tell me there wouldnt be 10 leftists terrorists identified per weekend amongst the Chicago murderers using that weak formula.

Regarding the unattributed copy & paste from Wikipedia commented above, that fake count was already addressed in this comment. It shows that Wikipedia can be deliberately misleading. Note the elision between number of incidents and number of fatalities, and the cherry picked dates. The 2015 San Bernardino attack killed 24 people, seriously injured 22 more, and would have killed and wounded many more if the perpetrators had not been killed before detonating their bombs. The 2016 Orlando Pulse attack killed 49, and wounded 53. The 2009 attack on Fort Hood killed 14 and wounded 33. And, so we never forget, the 9/11 attacks in 2001 killed 3,000 (the number continues to grow due to the toxic dust causing ongoing cancers and respiratory fatalities). Counts that omit the wounded, or that count incidents instead of fatalities, understate the Islamic carnage. Nobody can match Muslims' propensity to self-organize lethal conspiracies and murder and wound and terrorize huge numbers as per Islam.

By embracing Islam, the left embraces violence, and betrays liberalism and humanity. It makes no sense for Democrats to support Islam while claiming to support values that Islam opposes and would destroy, but such is the betrayal and incoherence that resulted in Democrats being separated from power.

+100!

Too bad most of the Democrat voters aren’t bright enough to connect the dots on this gradeschppl level puzzle. They think they’re so smart, but they lack common sense to such a degree that they’re effectively imbeciles. Toss a few Leftists into the wild and they’d either kill themselves by falling off a cliff or get eaten by rabid hamsters within a week. The survival shows are quite instructive on this. The more Leftist the contestant, the more likely they’ll require a life flight out of the contest.
37   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Nov 1, 12:00pm  



Here's 2017. So many problems with this one, from Harrisburg (by an Egyptian Muslim Chain Migrant via a distant family member, motive not clear, could be terror, he sought out cops specifically) to Antioch (Black Perpetrator who said he was mad at Whites, so that's Left Wing Terror). Both are dishonestly listed as unknown.

Las Vegas we've been over. There are no signs that the perp was particularly mad at government, or was motivated by any kind of politics. He wasn't in tax trouble and never bitched about government or poltiics. His dad was a noted murderer and conman, so it may be he wanted to show dad he was also bad ass before his death? Nobody knows and the case is closed with no official motive

Also on the list (not pictured), there are some unsolved vandalism "attacks" that aren't really terrorism, but just simple humbug, for example, somebody damaged a Lubavitcher bus. Not only am I not sure that's really a "Terror Attack", since nobody was in the bus, but if it is I'm probably Black Muslims given where it happened.

As CBOE is saying, when does a hate crime or humbug incident become Terrorism? Does mouthing off to "N**gers" in the parking lot count as Terrorism? Does a midnight arson of an empty (mostly likely run-down, knowing Lubavitchers) bus equal Terrorism or Hate Crime or Just Humbuggery?
38   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Nov 1, 12:02pm  

How about when Antifa professors bash people with bike locks? Is that terrorism, or just violence from rioting? It didn't make the list AFAICS

If torching a Lubavitch Bus is terror, why not smashing in windows and torching limosines and otherwise smashing and burning at a Riot?

They wont engage you. Their minds eye currently sees a low level model of reality wherein "right wing extremists" aka white men, are a HUGE terrorist threat cause orange man bad.

Asking the questions you are asking will clearly illuminate the ease with which these stats are manipulated. Reality clashes w their low level model of reality, so they won't engage you in details.
