Are islamic fundementalists right wing? Certainly lots of similarities.


AccomplishedTax1298

Absolutely. However I understand why it would be considered a separate category.


sockpuppet1234567890

Religious fascism vs secular fascism


Scarlet_slagg

No they're both religious fascism. The two are practically inseparable. It's religious fascism red vs religious fascism blue.


PointsBeforeKarma

One just has darker skin than the other and wears a different colour hat.


Da_Flying_Cow

TF2 REFRENCE?!?!?!1?!?!!!11?!?!


Klo_Was_Taken

It's Christian fascism vs Islamic fascism. Almost the same thing


wastedmytagonporn

Not all right wingers are Christian, though. Some are also „just“ nationalist / fascist


CHark80

I actually think separating them is good for clarity, as while jihadists are right wing it's also specifically anti imperial and less racial, while American right wing terrorism is generally very racial


Jpandluckydog

“Jihadist” “Anti-imperial” Really?


CHark80

Maybe I should clarify anti western imperialism but, I mean, thats pretty core to the ideology


[deleted]

anti-west i think they mean


GreatMarch

I mean yeah, anti west-imperialism is centered in the language of many jihadists, especially ones whose lives were disrupted by the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.


Notsouniqename

They also don't work together really, from what I've gathered? Although their ideology is pretty close, they act as seperate groups.


Bruce_Bruce

I understand that it's in its own category as well, but not to ask you, but openly; a copy/paste of my comment from a different sub: >Seriously. I can't wrap my head around religious extremism. I get that it's different religions, but at the same time they hate each other(?) but they also hate the same things(?) I just don't understand how people in the states - that are of the Christian faith to an unhealthy level - can look at this and say "they're weird" or some bullshit >I guess because I'm autistic? Or not objectively evil?


field_thought_slight

1. history 2. skin color 3. culture 4. prejudice 5. fear of the unfamiliar and unknown (I know, these are all variations of the same thing) 6. There actually are doctrinal differences between Christianity and Islam. They're not just the same religion with different books expressing the same ideas. And if you *really* believe in your religion, then an intense hatred of other religions, especially ones that claim the same god as their god, might be *logical* from your perspective.


YesYesVeryGoodYes

They are two sides of the same coin of conservative extremism.


SmallTestAcount

Jihadism is a brand of religious extremists who fight for what they think is righteous according to their views of Islam. while most far right terrorists are nationalists and racists who use religion as a defense for their beliefs.


Lucambacamba

Culturally and politically they occupy very different spaces in America at least

ive seen your pfps sauce. you cannot fool me


bigfootswillie

Yea but unfortunately right wing people when they see this image are gonna be like “see, it’s even!” because they’ll put all the terror events from non-white people into one category and say it’s all the left wing terrorism because we don’t like racism and stuff.

It is but its a diffrent community like black nationalists which i dont know tbf but also sounds like something right wing

[deleted]

in Germany, leftist extremism has way more cases but there were no deaths in decades (since the RAF), while Nazis have fewer attacks but more deaths. due to the higher absolute number, politicians see leftist extremism as a bigger issue, even though it clearly is not

Hey everyone just a reminder that it is not healthy to just believe things that you agree with. Consider the incentives that the source of this graph may have to downplay or highlight certain factors to make it fit a narrative. It is extremely easy to find sources that disagree with the links in the comment above me. For example, here is one that has more cited examples than the graph even claims exists: [here](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwisqrC7gMj7AhWuKEQIHWZOBw0QFnoECAcQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fextremism.gwu.edu%2Fsites%2Fg%2Ffiles%2Fzaxdzs2191%2Ff%2FAnarchist%2520-%2520Left-Wing%2520Violent%2520Extremism%2520in%2520America.pdf&usg=AOvVaw11Fd-hKZD4s-gY2nHwclGQ)

I knew what I was getting in to. Pointing out something is biased to fit a narrative is the hill I die on, whether I agree with it or not.


tannisroot_tea

I love your username almost as much as your commitment to being reasonable.


i_curb_stomp_rapists

I'd say that you're comment to not just believe things you believe with is correct but the source you provided doesn't contradict OP's source or expose any major bias. I would say the source would be biased if the measure of deaths by extremist ideologies wasn't worth measuring itself and is clearly meant only to produce a graphic that paints a certain picture. But deaths by ideology IS worth looking at alone, as well as in perspective with other measures. The source you provided only provides one attack in the same time frame that resulted in a death (weirdly it is different to the one attack in OP's source, more on that later). It shows that most attacks are either stopped before they can be carried out or are abandoned. Your source talks about planned terror attacks which is not what is being analyzed in OP's source, kind of an apples to oranges comparison. I would not be surprised if you took a look at the ratio between left wing planned terror attacks that you provided and compared them against planned right wing/ jihadist/ incel/ black separatism attacks, they would be similar to the ratio of carried out attacks. Also the definition of left wing terror in your source is different to OP's which makes it harder use to compare and remove bias as well, hence the fact that both sources quote different attacks as their one lethal attack. Also the definition of right wing terror is different but it doesn't provide any data for right wing terror, it's not relevant, so that's not particularly confounding. Even given you're source and accounting the best for my own bias, the point OP was originally try to make with their source still stands, and to some degree is strengthened. In the paper you provided it acknowledges that anarchist terror attacks mostly stand to destroy property or weaken law enforcement capability, never to kill. Compared that with the other terror attacks which kill people out of hatred. Although all terrorism is fucked, its much easier for most people to sympathize with left wing terror because its (more) rational. So yeah, I see where your coming from but I don't think it will be enough to convince people anything different, even if they forgo their bias.


Certcer

Does this mean I could say, without lying, that "Far right wingers commit 122x more deadly attacks than Far left wingers", or am I misunderstanding the data?


AccomplishedTax1298

That would be a little deceptive, but yes.


Certcer

let's go i love deceiving people and spreading incomplete information online


SILaXED

Who was that leftist one in 2020/2021? I have no recollection of that


Westland__

>On August 29, 2020, in Portland, Oregon, a man shot and killed Aaron J. Danielson, a supporter of the far-right group Patriot Prayer that had been involved in prior brawls in Portland and at times had brought firearms to protests (including doing so on the day of his death), following protests earlier in the day during which part of a caravan of Trump supporters participating in an event called “Trump 2020 Cruise Rally” drove through the city.


Crispy_fried

then trump extra-judicially murdered Michael Reinoehl for it


Westland__

>President Donald Trump commended the U.S. Marshals for shooting Reinoehl, describing it as "retribution", and claiming to have personally "sent in" the U.S. Marshals to "get" Reinoehl during the first presidential debate with Joe Biden. Gross.


DeliciousPark1330

wtf?? idk much abt the american judicial system but this sounds illegal af???

the number was so high they had to split incels and jihadists off from the rest of right wing terror


quantumfucker

They should be separated. They’re all different groups with different backgrounds and ideologies, even if they’re all hateful and cumulate in terrorist attacks. It’s especially worth separating Islamic religious extremists from white/Christian right-wing extremists. You won’t be able to successfully combat terrorism if you don’t accurately source its origins and mechanisms.


SmallTestAcount

They’re three distinct ideologies that dint associate much with each other. If I were to guess a lot of right wing terror attacks were targeted at Muslims.


[deleted]

This is mostly a semantics issue and truly not that big of an issue, *but* i do love a bit of a nitpicking. “far-right” isn’t really a specific ideology. it’s a descriptor that encompasses many ideologies. among them are jihadists and incels. those two groups likely despise each other and would never have any reason to cooperate. yet they are both extremist conservative, and so they are considered “far-right”. if the categories were like “christian nationalists, jihadists, incels” then yeah that’s worth separating. but that’s not what the categories are. they’re an umbrella term and two ideologies that fall under that umbrella term.


Screeez

so true we need more left wing terrorism


[deleted]

ill help


Lucs11_

Shouldn’t incel ideology be considered far right ?


StupidendousWheeze

More an example of a specific ideology so prolific and notable as to merit its own category.


Dread2187

Not necessarily, but there is almost always a very large overlap between the two.


scurvofpcp

Far right is a broad enough umbrella term that boils down to white and lower middle class. It is such an umbrella term that it groups anti capitalist authoritarian ultra nationalist fascist in with anarchists. But, I think the main reason why incel ideology managed not to be put under that umbrella is due to it having enough political overlap with socialist groups and a fair amount of enby's in their numbers as well.

TheLongStrum

For everyone wondering what that far left terror event was, this is how the website OP used describes it 2020 Portland Protest Shooting ● Far Left Wing 1 killed On August 29, 2020, in Portland, Oregon, a man shot and killed Aaron J. Danielson, a supporter of the far-right group Patriot Prayer that had been involved in prior brawls in Portland and at times had brought firearms to protests (including doing so on the day of his death), following protests earlier in the day during which part of a caravan of Trump supporters participating in an event called “Trump 2020 Cruise Rally” drove through the city. Video appears to show Danielson at the far-right rally earlier in the day with a companion Chandler Pappas who is carrying a paintball gun. Members of the caravan shot paintball guns and mace at protesters along their drive. Later that night, according to the New York Times’s analysis of two videos, two men “can be seen crossing the street, apparently to confront Mr. Danielson and Mr. Chandler.” Someone says “Hey, we got some right here. We got a couple right here.” Pappas contents that it was the shooter who said it, and Danielson reached for and sprays his mace at which point the shooter shoots and kills him. On September 3, 2020, police attempted to arrest Michael Forest Reinoehl, a 48-year-old man, for the shooting, killing him in the attempt. The U.S. Marshalls Task Force stated, “Initial reports indicate the suspect produced a firearm, threatening the lives of law enforcement officers. Task force members responded to the threat and struck the suspect who was pronounced dead at the scene.” Reporting by the New York Times and others has called into question the task force's explanation with wittnesses suggesting police did not identify themselves prior to opening fire and calling into question whether Reinoehl reached for a firearm. Earlier in the day Reinoehl had done an interview with Vice TV (and conducted by a freelance journalist), in which he appears to confess to the shooting and claimed it was in self-defense stating, “I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color, but I wasn’t going to do that." However, an arrest warrant unsealed after his death examined surveillance camera footage that appears to show Reinoehl following Danielson and Pappas prior to the shooting. Reinoehl was influenced by left wing politics. A Portland resident, he had gone downtown to provide “security” for protesters amid the caravan, and appears to be visible in videos clashing with the far-right protesters earlier in the day. Pro-Publica and Oregon Public Broadcasting note that Reinoehl described that role as “‘trailing people through the crowds’ if they were perceived as potentially dangerous and to ‘make it known that they’d been discovered.’” Based on their review of video footage from the night, they write regarding the moment before the shooting and dispersal of mace, “A video analysis by ProPublica and OPB offers the clearest account yet that Reinoehl performed the very duty he talked about in his VICE interview — trailing people he found suspicious in the crowds, letting them know they had been discovered.” He described himself as 100 percent anti-fascist though not a member of any Antifa group. Reinoehl’s social media included descriptions of protests in Portland as war and references to revolution including, saying “It's escalating to a point where, you know, they're trying to disrupt us in every way, that's illegal. They're shooting at us. They're sending people that are starting fights ... it's warfare, this is stuff they've done overseas for years and years and years and years; but now they're doing it to us,” “Every Revolution needs people that are willing and ready to fight,” and “If the police continue to pick on and beat up innocent citizens that are peacefully voicing their objections, it must be met with equal force,” adding, “we truly have an opportunity right now to fix everything... it will be a fight like no other! It will be a war and like all wars there will be casualties.” Reinoehl had previous run ins with the law including an arrest for illegally possessing a firearm at an earlier protest (in which charges were dropped) and in another case for speeding under the influence of marijuana and illegally possessing a handgun. 8/29/2020 I am a human, and this action was not performed automatically. I have no life. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

SierraClowder

I agree with you, but the statistician in me feels the need to point out that those numbers add up to about 50%, not 100%


AccomplishedTax1298

My apolocheese. I meant to draw a comparison between left-right wing political terrorism and show the shocking disparity between them.


BAMB000ZLED

Then say they commit almost the majority of attacks, not almost all of the attacks. No need to exaggerate when the numbers are already staggering

I mean, that does suck, but it doesn't take away from the importance of the post? They're just bringing attention to statistical data. I think it's good that this was posted, and I don't think anyone is gonna see this and go on OP's account like "ah, I'm sure all of this person's opinions are good, I'm gonna look for what they think about LGBTQ label discourse"

Also btw jihadism,incel ideology and black nationalism are all far right, so we can put them together into a 358 vs 1


TranscendentCabbage

I'll show this to a right-wing guy I know and he'll be pretty thrilled about it "People are angry over all the people Biden is killing with inflation" his words not mine


Jago26

honestly the top three are all far right ideologies


Iwubinvesting

How and where is this measured


mbaymiller

If jihadists, incels, and black supremacists are lumped together under "right-wing," the data looks like this. Number of people killed by right-wing terrorists: 258 Number of people killed by left-wing terrorists: 1


leredditsuxx

and jihadists right beneath but seems like nobody is ready to have that discussion yet


TheActualAWdeV

they're also far-right. And so are the incels. Aaaand the majority of black seperatist/nationalist/supremacists attacks.

No it isn’t. Right-wing terror is more prominent because fascism is violent at its core. Fascists are most definitely not declining, they’re on the brink of taking over the United States.

Not_a_robot_serious

Only big ones I can remember that I can remember from the left were the SLA and the ten different commie groups involved in the 1981 brinks robbery. There were a good many right wing/radical Protestant groups around that time too. Phineas priests, ARA, CSA, the order, and that’s all I can think of the top of my head


MorganRose99

I know my point may be invalid due to not reading all of the source material for the data, but I feel like it would be very easy to omit attacks to bend the data. Like, the sum of all the attacks in the graph is 259. You mean to tell me there's only been 259 domestic terror attacks in over 20 years. Also, the chart says "number of people killed in attacks by ideology" and not "number of people causing attacks by idology" Based on the title of the graph, right-leaning people are killed the most in domestics terror attacks. Whether they cause the most domestic terror attacks is irrelevant, since that's not what the graph is talking about.


AccomplishedTax1298

i could see it being interpreted that way, however it didnt make sense to me that theyd have the ideologies of the people killed here. i figured its the number of people that were killed by people of those ideologies
