I'm sharing this, as this is a new label to me, and it is good to have a label for what many MAGA influencers are doing.

Stochastic Terrorism refers to public figures using hateful or dehumanizing language to incite violence. They don't give direct instructions, but their words create a dangerous environment in which violence becomes likely.

You twisted ops post to make your point. I’m only pointing out this post is fine and good. That’s the plot.

It’s good advice to call people out if they are talking like the post describes.

No twisting on my part, and for the third, fourth time? I agree on calling out bad behavior. My point is specifically about the specific terminology being endorsed and why it is a bad thing to be accustomed to given examples I have already cited.

I don’t like that palm trees aren’t trees. They are a wood like herb. It sucks but that’s what they are. I’m sorry this falls into the definition of the words as described in the dictionary.

They do tho. It’s the word for it.
