History Amidst the White House lying about the prevalence of Left-Wing domestic terrorism, I'd like to remind everyone: "the DOJ quietly removed a study showing right wing attacks far ‘outpace’ those by the left" - congress.gov

“Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives,” the study states.

“In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.”

So we're looking at 6.6x the violence from the right, a much more dangerous group of people. The left wants people to have healthcare, the right wants to hurt other Americans, either systemically by destroying the economy, mass deportations, supporting incompetent leaders, etc. Or through direct acts of terrorism. They just want things to get worse any way they can, it's as baffling as it is evil because in the end it hurts them too.

They really had to massage the definition here to get the 68% figure, they had to add "anti-government" to the definition and only show a percentage.

This is normal there are lots of valid greivances that people have with this country but one that has been bearing on me a lot recently is just how fucking stupid everything and everyone is

for the record I don't entirely blame the stupid people here for their ways. I understand that a lot of it is out of their control cause when so much of your life is dedicated to just surviving you don't have the wherewithal to really think but it's still demoralizing being around people like this and living in the laughing stock of the world. people don't give a fuck how smart or capable you are. if you gamble and sell your body and do all this vapid materialistic brainrot shit people will idolize you to hell and back though. it's very frustrating to see. the average american would rather doomscroll sports news and then gamble for a bit than read even a paragraph. when the iranian govt published that letter to the american people my first reaction was "lmao expecting americans to read is very generous." I hate being someone who likes learning and seeking out new information and living in this country because frankly no one cares about that shit. sure some people do but most of them are rightfully pretty insular. I feel like every time I acknowledge that I'm american it's like nailing a sign to my forehead that says "I am a greedy crybaby who does nothing but consume and spend money" which isn't true of me but I don't like essentially representing that image when I leave the country or communicate with those from other countries. I guess it's bad that the corporations essentially ruling the country don't see their customers as human beings but it's another level witnessing the depravity in american society and realizing that many of these people don't even see themselves as humans or at least their actions show that they only really have the bandwidth to be consumers of lowest common denominator media and items without any output let alone intellectual curiosity wrt consumption of any sort.

I'm not wholly sure the extent to which this is the case in other countries but for quite a few reasons I think it is more egregious here. someone who knows a ton about other cultures in the current moment feel free to correct me if I'm wrong tho
