"Incel" "Misogynists" "American Anti-Semites" "GamerGate" "Glowing Fed-operation "racist" group." "The mentally ill ex solider" "Right wing extremism terrorists"
Confirmed gang related homicides in 2022 were around 3,000 people. Even if you conglomerate all the right wing terrorist attacks between 2008 and 2016, The Nation Institute study, you come up with 79 deaths. Average that out to per-year, you get 9.875. (btw, 90 separate deaths came from Islamic terrorism. Bigger threat!)
0.3% of the yearly homocides are "XYZ-online-extremists" compared to gang homicides. Number gets even lower, in the thousandths range, if you actually do the entire homicide rate. ten-thousandths if you include suicides.
Honestly, I think the biggest mistake people make when dealing with these ideologues is believing that any of it comes from any kind of intellectual honesty or an intellectual thought process. It's feelings, all the way down.
It strikes me as absolutely insane that we have so much resistance to mandatory sentencing guidelines, three strike rules, re-education for certain types of people with noted criminal histories, etc, and yet these fucks are suggesting that shitposting on twitter should come with more consequences for your future than punching someone in the face.
Edit: fixed math. Was drunk.
It seems good people seem to think evil can be vanquished for good but it cannot. Evil requires good to be ever-vigilant against it. Evil broke the gates down the second good people decided they didn't need to guard them against evil any longer.
