interesting!

Leftists have killed 2.6 times as many people as the right since 2016, however.

Oh, where's the source?

I'd use that.

Left Wing terrorists killed only 23 people in terrorist attacks during this time, about 0.7% of the total number of murders, but 13 since the beginning of 2016. Nationalist and Right Wing terrorists have only killed five since then, including Charlottesville.

The forbes article

ignore the first bit

"Nationalist and Right Wing" why are they together

I mean to be fair not many lefties are patriotic but still

Also, were all of the killings ideologically motivated

They are, because otherwise the statistics would have been a lot higher for both parties

That would be like saying any murder happened to be committed by a right winged person should be counted as a statistic

found this the other day

@Adam what's your definition of "left" wing terrorism?

Violent or intimidating acts in the name of left wing ideologies

But when I used "terrorist attacks" above, I pretty much meant killings

It's from the forbes article, I'm quoting it

I don't think left wing terrorism is that big

Neither is right wing terrorism

It is

It is huge

It isn't, according to statistics for the last 2 years.

Of course Islamic terrorism is also right wing

Comparing ISIS to the American right is absurd

🤔

Since religious fundementalism is a conservative thing, and conservatism is seen as on the right

I'm not saying the American right

just the right in general

Radical muslims are radical traditionalists

he has a point

I'd say it's more religious than political though

Yes

But ofcourse religion gets intertwined with politics

And I would say advocating for religion or at least religious values is something right wing

If you look at the definitions, yes it is right wing, but only in the sense that they are interpreting certain verses in the Qua'ran and carrying them out in the name of Allah

It's hardly political

Sure, it's traditionalism

Like, women should cover up, we shouldn't be "degenerate", that sort of attitude, that is not something you hear the left say

The right doesn't say that either.

Many do
