Show some data!

Here’s a report on political terrorism up to 2025: https://www.csis.org/analysis/left-wing-terrorism-and-politi...

I encourage anyone reading to look at the charts. There’s a single clearly anomalous data point with significantly reduced violence for “right terrorists” and significantly high number for “left” in 2025. It is the only year in any chart where left violence exceeds (or even comes near to) right.

It’d be extremely silly to infer some trend from this one anomaly.
