hahahhaha i just found another way that infographic is straight up propaganda
it's domestic terrorism incidents in western countries by total count, not adjusted for population
and it's comparing a political party to a religion
Islamic followers in the us are in total 3.3 million, or just over 1% population
Self-identified right wing Americans are in total 122.7 million, or 38% of the US population
"incidents" is also incredibly vague and the majority counted do not have a death or injury toll.
yeah ok definitely can compare these things
their count for islamic terror seems about right -- since 9/11 there have been 52 deadly incidents of islamic terror in the USA with 150 deaths in total. we're looking at a smaller window, but counting incidents without a death toll.
but what it isn't telling you, is that only ONE of the incidents being counted of right wing terror has a death toll. Of 3 people. Including the shooter himself committing suicide.
Absolutely does not compare unless you want to make Islamists look incredibly violent and dangerous.
How fucking stupid do they think people are, to not be able to see right through this? Oh wait, people don't. That's why we get twisted and warped minds like Jarnooga's fucked up soul.
