You should read a bit more. The vast majority of domestic terrorism in the US is by far, and not even close, left wing supporting folks.
You could try to make that case with actual data, but it will only demonstrate just how banana pants that statement is.
Well, show me otherwise. What right wing terrorism in the last ten years or so can you point me to, January 6th? What else? I can point you to all kinds of left wing supported rioting, destruction of public properties, of destruction of private properties and businesses.

Burning every Tesla ever made would not equal one murder.
Well, it would certainly show that the left wing folks are terrorists and that destruction of every Tesla in the world was a beyond massive left wing induced terrorist act.

What murder are you specifically speaking about?

My estimation of Markk’s intelligence wasn’t very high to begin with. Now it’s cratering.

I see you are already starting to backpedal by changing your claim to apply to only the last 10 years. But that's fine: you made the claim, so it is your case to make if you choose to do so. And you should understand that 'pointing to stories' about Jan. 6 or BLM protests is just swapping yarns, not engaging in sober analysis. When I use the term 'data' I refer specifically to crime statistics related to domestic terrorism. Having looked at these statistics in the not-so-distant past, your statement indicates that you almost certainly haven't; or if you have, you have managed to form an interpretation of the data that may fairly be characterized as 'banana pants.'

To be clear: I have no expectation that you will take the time to review actual crime statistics. The impression you have inherited based on your media consumption choices is of precious little interest to me.

And the irrefutable fact still remains that the shooter was avid, MEGA Trump sycophant and a racist, hard-right conservative and a fascist. He was not anything close to a progressive, leftist or Democrat.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Most of the recent terrorists have been MAGA guys or disillusioned MAGA guys. They are radical extremists. Terrorists. And it is the right-wing fever swamp around Trump that has done more to bring this about than anything else. You would have to be delusional or extremely MAGA brainwashed to think otherwise.

Lol, I have to ask, do you believe you are more or less some sort of expert for determining the intelligence of folks on this board? How do you perceive how folks here view you in that regard? I am 1000% curious. Do you need to think of yourself as being more intelligent that others, for self esteem, for self grandeur, or other?

I am asking you this in that when confronted or questioned on your rants, you just retract and question the intelligence of those that dare question your opinions, as if you know what the hell you are talking about, while never defending your position with any substance?

Markk, are you relying on the Interpreter's Bayesian statistics?
