    That’s fucked.

    The only one that belongs there is the anti-abortion one.

    In North America, the majority of cases of acts of terrorism were done by radicalized conservative christian right-wingers who attacked family planning and abortion clinics, gay bars or other LGBTQ+ establishments, attacked anti-fascism protesters, attacked non-caucasians, and attacked non-christian religious establishments.

    There has been no socialist/communist or any left-wing terrorist acts that I can remember.

    Conservatives are the true terrorists and they feel threatened by anyone who don’t think like them.

      I can think of a single example in my living memory within the US, the loner who attacked the congressional softball game was left of the average democrat. How much farther left, I don’t recall.

      Part of that surely has to do with the way the gun debate in this country has been framed, and the positions the left has taken up on the same. That’s a separate conversation, of course, but I hypothesize that the dearth of guns on the left also leads to a dearth of acts that kill people. Well, that, and the lack of baseless bs conspiracy theories (mostly).

      Even the anti abortion one is bullshit. Yes they’re shitbags who want an awful thing, but standing outside clinics shouting at people and handing out fliers is not something that should have you labelled as a potential terrorist.

        You haven’t heard about people setting these clinics on fire? Physically threatening patients and doctors and death threats?

      No evidence. But I’ll be happy to risk my left tenticle to declare.

      The only reason anti abortion made tge list. It was thevonly one they could excuse on there. That stopped folks screaming it was a right wing attack on the left.
