No, I do not have stats in front of me. I’m not even a gambler, but I’d bet $ that majority of domestic terrorism in the USA is committed by extremist right wing individuals And that most of them are white Christian males.

Those facts have been reported so frequently over the last 20-30 years that I’d bet $ on it. It’s just convenient for the white majority to ignore the reality that extremist white people are the true domestic terrorists and get all hyped up about the Muslim/brown/black man instead.

Meanwhile, it’s extreme right wing whites supremacists who do the actual bombing, shooting, and killing of Americans.

Edit: What left wing groups are killing people all the time in the USA?

Your actually right. According to the FBI most of the terrorists they have had to keep track of in recent years.are indeed White guys holed up in cabins with AR 15s who espouse some combination of right wing and christian beliefs.

Brown skinned Muslim immigrants are a tiny minority of Americans on the FBI watch lists. Left wing extremists are even fewer in number.

Right now -with current tensions- both Antifa and Boogaloo are ..pumped as boogeymen - and supposed threats -by politicians. But both groups seem to be little more than mythological creatures.

But now the Boogs are actually doing some actual terrorist acts.

So...the boogs are like snow leopards, and antifa is like the Yeti. Both are extremely rare large animals of the Himalayas of myth and legend. If you camp out in Nepal you have virtually no chance of being eaten alive by a Yeti (because they are so rare that for practical purposes they dont exist). But there is a slender chance that a snow leopard might eat you (because though rare they at least DO actually exist). So the Boogs are like snow leopards (a minor threat to human campers), and Antifa is still at the Yeti status (nothing to worry about at all).

Absolutely correct. While some Antifa members get a wild hare up the a$$, most violence and looting is being committed by opportunistic criminals, or by far right wing groups like the Proud Boys and Identity Evropa posing as Antifa and Black Lives Matter, either on the ground during demonstrations, or by impersonating those left wing groups on the internet where they threaten violence in predominantly white areas.

It's just that the vast majority of terrorism and political violence comes from the right. The left busts windows and writes graffiti, the right shoots people, sends bombs to media outlets and drives cars into crowds of people and I'm sick of dishonest dupes and shills constantly pretending like things are equal.

Ah, my uncle was one of those. He wasn't alt-right but he lived off grid on Vancouver Island to hide from American drug charges. What are boogs doing exactly?

Usually involved in militia groups that are against the US government.

Oh that's no good.

My uncle wasn't like that. He was more of a pacifist hippy type. Raised in Arizona and fled to Canada. Grew all his own food and lived off the land for about 25 years. He wouldn't have hurt a fly.

They’re people who wish to incite a Second American Civil War. Most of them want it to be fought along racial lines.
