On the subject of mass shootings which someone brought up recently.

I found this article interesting in my research, in 2022, all U.S. extremist mass killings were linked to far right, report says. Also this isn't a gun control post.

https://www.axios.com/2023/02/23/mass-killings-extremism-adl-report-2022

The number of mass killings linked to extremism in the U.S. in the past decade was at least three times higher than any decade since the 1970s, per the report.

Between 2011 and 2020, there were 21 mass killing incidents in the U.S., compared to only five from 2001 to 2010.

From 1991 to 2000, there were seven mass killing incidents in the U.S., and only two from 1981 to 1990, and six between 1971 to 1980.

"The 26 mass killing incidents over the past 12 years actually exceed those from the previous 40 years (20)," the report stated.

State of play: The number of deaths associated with mass killing incidents has also risen.

Between 2010 and 2020, 164 people died in ideological extremist-related mass killing incidents, more than in any other decade other than the 1990s — in which nearly all the deaths were associated with one event, the Oklahoma City bombing.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that we live in an age of extremist mass killings," the report said.

Also, my post isn't about gun control per se, the data says that all mass shootings were primarily far right, that's it. No other claim made by me.

@NativePortlander1970 Nope it doesn't. Islam at least when its extreme is far right, there's direct correlation between the Taliban and far right political policies. Anti government types are typically far right and hate politics as in hate crimes also make up far right.

1. Shared Opposition to Liberal Social Values

Both groups reject feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, and the broader "woke" movement, viewing them as threats to traditional gender roles and family structures.
Figures like Andrew Tate and far-right influencers admire Islamic laws on gender roles, seeing them as a counter to Western liberalism.

2. Emphasis on Traditional Gender Roles

Both promote strict patriarchal structures, advocating for male dominance in society and the family.

The far-right in the U.S. often idealizes the 1950s nuclear family, while conservative Islamic movements push for adherence to religiously defined roles.

3. Distrust of Secularism and Western Liberal Democracy

Some segments of both groups argue that secularism has led to moral decay and prefer governance rooted in religious or traditional values.

The far right promotes Christian nationalism, while certain Islamic movements advocate for Sharia-based governance.

4. Anti-Globalism and Conspiratorial Thinking

Both groups often distrust global institutions like the UN, EU, and World Economic Forum, seeing them as threats to national or religious sovereignty.
They are prone to conspiracy theories, including ideas about global elites manipulating society.

5. Criticism of Western Foreign Policy

While they historically opposed each other, some elements of both movements now oppose U.S. interventionist policies and criticize Western imperialism.

This has led to unusual alliances where some far-right figures express support for Middle Eastern resistance movements.

6. Focus on "Strongman" Leadership

Both movements admire authoritarian-style leadership that enforces traditional values, whether it's figures like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, or conservative Islamic leaders.

7. Opposition to Mass Immigration (But for Different Reasons)

The U.S. far-right opposes immigration from Muslim-majority countries and fears demographic change.

However, some conservative Muslims, especially in Europe and Canada, oppose mass immigration from non-Muslim countries due to fears of cultural dilution.

do you realize that far right means far from right?
@Wireman I gave you a dictionary definition from Oxford. If you've got a dictionary that says something different, please share it! But we already know you don't and you're just bluffing🤣😂

See what I did there? I provided something called sources, learn how to use them.
@SatanBurger
The ADL found that 74% of extremist-related murders in the last decade were committed by right-wing extremists.

CSIS reported that from 1994 to 2020, 66% of terrorist attacks and plots in the U.S. came from far-right extremists.

Yet according to the chart those syles of shootings are not very common, try again.
@SatanBurger I spent over an hour searching for mass shootings correlated with political ideology, that article was the only one I found with any relevant information. I am an information junkie, a serious hobbyist researcher, I was in the debate and speech clubs in high school, I had access to university libraries, I know how to find anything and everything that is not suppressed, which had actually been very common in the past 30 years, at one time in the late 80's to mid 90's I shared an annual subscription with nine others, $50 a month, to access the Lexis Nexis.

@NativePortlander1970 66% of terrorist attacks would say it's common.
