Right-wing terrorists are motivated by ideas of racial or ethnic supremacy; opposition to government authority, including the sovereign citizen movement; misogyny, including incels (“involuntary celibates”); hatred based on sexuality or gender identity; and/or opposition to certain policies such as abortion.
Left-wing terrorists are motivated by an opposition to capitalism, imperialism, or colonialism; support for environmental causes or animal rights; pro-communist or pro-socialist beliefs; and/or support for decentralized political and social systems, such as anarchism.
Religious terrorists are motivated by a faith-based belief system. This may include Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, or other faiths. Within the religious category, we further distinguished cases in which the perpetrator adhered to a Salafi-jihadist ideology. After completing the coding process, we found that all religious incidents in this data set were also Salafi-jihadist in nature. The terms are therefore used interchangeably in the analysis. While perpetrators of some other attacks had religious ties, such as some within the Christian Identity movement, these attacks were motivated primarily by concepts of white supremacy and are therefore coded as right-wing. Similarly, though (primarily Christian) religious ideology may have influenced some perpetrators of abortion-related attacks, these fall under the definition of right-wing terrorism.
Ethnonationalist terrorists are motivated by ethnic and/or nationalist goals, including self-determination. Within this data set, issues driving ethnonationalist terrorism included political divisions within Haitian and Cuban exile communities and Puerto Rican independence. While anti-Semitic motives were classified as right-wing, attacks on Jewish individuals or institutions intended as a response to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were classified as ethnonationalist.
They split them so you can fit the graph on one page.
It’s been more than a week.
It’s nice to know you miss me.
I decided to quit posting here. Too many libs and proggies. But I’m not gonna lie, I am enjoying the lib tears. And I’ll refrain from saying “I told you so” about just about everything I every posted.
Signing out and enjoying life more than ever.

You mean like the Hunter Biden investigation possibly leading to the big guy?
That’s a pretty unfortunate post to go out with.
Probably. The board seems to lean left. But that’s not by design and there’s nothing specific that prevents more conservative voices from participating other than conservative tears when someone disagrees with them.
The only thing we do overtly is demand respect for lqbtq folks. And a big part of that is so that we aren’t hosting attacks on members of the actuarial community. If the requirement that we be respectful and polite to other people we are interacting with results in a loss of participants, then that’s a loss we are aware of and quite happy to make that tradeoff.
Will do. It’s depressing that the US so divided that we can’t even have a civil argument. I think Yoyo said something similar, before he similarly disappeared. If you’re posting on some other forum drop a line, and I’ll drop in and call all the Magas out for being idiots.
