Islamism is left wing.

18. Imagine being that radicalised and full of hate at 18. Also have there been any left-wing terrorists that cite any left wing media sources as their inspiration? Breivik, Gendron, Tarrant - all racist killers who cited a host of right wing talking heads as their influence. But I don’t recall any left-wing ones who said they were inspired by Polly Toynbee or the like. That'll be because they're not inspirational. I mean I am not sure inspiring people to commit racist mass murder is anything to be proud of tbh. |

I will always maintain the vast majority of opposition to Khan is not what people think of his performance but white people having an issue with somebody of his ethnicity being mayor of London. It’s why Trump was obsessed with him and yet again another example: metro.co.uk/2022/05/15/buffalo-shooting-white-supremacist-teenager-wanted-sadiq-khan-dead-16648022/?ico=zone-post-strip_item_1_news“He wrote: ‘Sadiq Khan, The current mayor of London at the time of writing, an open sign of the disenfranchisement and ethnic replacement of the British people in the British isles. ‘This Pakistani Muslim invader now sits as representative for the people of London. Londinium, the very heart of the British isles. ‘What better sign of the white rebirth than the removal of this invader?’ When people who don’t live in London are obsessed with him, well… (Also how are you going to be a citizen of a settler state and then complain about the “great replacement”!) |

Just etc. Of course once you correctly add the Islamist attacks to the left wing numbers, left wing terrorism utterly dwarfs so-called right wing, so-called terrorism. "One completed right wing attack was carried out by a lone actor in Germany. Three other right-wing terrorist attacks failed or were foiled in Belgium, France and Germany. Italy reported 24 left-wing and anarchist terrorist attacks. One attack was foiled in France. Arrests for left-wing and anarchist terrorism dropped from 111 in 2019 to 52 in 2020, mainly due to a reduction in Italy (from 98 to 24)." www.europol.europa.eu/cms/sites/default/files/documents/tesat_2021_0.pdf |

The response to the different flavours of terrorism is always instructive. "Right" wing terrorism: close down the Daily Mail, Tory politicians must be silenced, more restrictions on free speech needed. Left wing/Islamist terrorism:  |

Mind you, this isn't much of a surprise...
"There was an observed trend for right-wing extremists to use video games and gaming platforms to propagate ideology."

There's a case to be made that left with media often inspire right wing terrorists.

It's also arguable that in the UK, right wing terrorism is inflated by proscribing organisations and making membership illegal. Most of the convictions for right wing terrorism are for this and various other very low level stuff. E.g. the Anarchist Cookbook. www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3q03l4kyxpo |

There does seem to be a bit of a correlation between sad pasty white teenage boys who sit in the mum’s basement obsessing on their computers and racist white right-wing terrorism. Of course the ones propagating the terrorism and much older white people, particularly present in US media and politics pushing “replacement theory” cockrot. But the perpetrators who get motivated to act do seem to be largely pathetic sexless snotty sad teenage boys. |

The right wing used to send them out to the frontline to die for the country. They've replaced that with domestic hate politics.
