This ADL stat everyone's cited the past year about "far-right violence" is from an NIJ review which literally doesn't acknowledge the existence of left-wing violence. They just use vegan/eco-terrorism as a proxy, so of course that makes it look nonexistent. The blackest race riots and queerest terror attacks still aren't considered ideologically left-wing. It's that bullshit.

@Type_Other@poa.st These sorts of statistics claimed by everyone are total bullshit. I remember one from a Federal government source a few years ago which just didn't match my general knowledge of such events, so I went looking for some and they were simply omitted. Like a radicalized African-American outbreak of Sudden Jihad Syndrome where he mostly beheaded a co-worker. It was double plus ungood because it was stopped by a guy in the company who kept an AR-15 in his office. Unless you want to take on the Sisyphean task of debunking them, or reminding people on our side about them, I suggest just ignoring them as you should pretty much all public polling. They're just agitprop akin to what we started seeing within hours of the would be murderer of an ICE agent getting plugged instead.
