There is no consensus regarding politically motivated violence, which was the point I was making about violence being much broader than murders.
The discussion on Islam was relevant as the data included Islamic terrorist attacks. The omission of 9/11 deaths from those statistics would be considered a rather glaring omission by most people.
Not sure who said trans people are bad.
This study was being quoted as proof that the assertion by conservatives that leftist violence is on the rise was false. If we agree that violence includes rioting, injuries, property damage etc, then that is far from proven.
In so far as the research itself, even the author himself acknowledged that categorisations were far from objective and different ideological motivations could be assigned to attackers. The only conclusion they were willing to make is that total politically motivated murders were relatively small.
Finally, this is one study. I’m not sure how a consensus can be agreed based on a single study, particularly one with apparent self-highlighted flaws that specifically warn against just that type of over-interpretation.
Nobody is broken, just unwilling to jump to conclusions unquestioningly.
