I would like to remind everyone that right-wing violence accounts for the vast majority of political violence. A majority of mass shootings are also committed by right-wingers as well.

“And 2017 being the *only* year where far-left homicide incidents outnumbered far-right ones” did you even read before posting this?

“still remain less frequent and less deadly than right-wing and jihadist violence historically” Now looking at the actual stats which I’m assuming you’re referring to. The charts used show what appears to be such a significant increase because of the units of measurement used. You’re actually looking at data points from 0.6 to a 5 (which is projected). The numbers aren’t statistically significant because they are so low.

Figure 2 just shows that there is a larger left wing share of domestic terrorism than there was in the 1990s or 2000s. The absolute numbers are STILL lower than many past years of right-wing terrorism That’s not confirmation bias when I am using the exact graphs YOU cited

Also the dataset begins in 1994 ignoring all of the left wing activity in the 70’s which biases the stats by making current activity APPEAR statistically signifcant
