The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Executive Summary

*Right-wing extremist terror incidents in the U.S. have been increasing since the mid-2000s, but the past six years have seen their sharpest rise
yet. There were just seven right-wing terror incidents in the period 2005-2007, but by 2017-2019 there were 27, which increased to 40 in
2020-2022.
*The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Center on Extremism (COE) has documented 67 domestic terror incidents by right-wing extremists in the United
States from 2017 to 2022. These include successful terrorist attacks, failed terrorist attacks and foiled terrorist plots.
*White supremacists were responsible for more attacks than any other type of right-wing extremist in the past six years (30 of 67, or 45%), but
anti-government extremists, anti-abortion extremists and other types of right-wing extremists have also plotted and carried out attacks.
*Right-wing terror attacks during this period also resulted in more deaths (58) from such attacks than any of the previous six-year periods since
the time of the Oklahoma City bombing. All but five of those deaths occurred in white supremacist attacks—primarily mass shootings directed
against minority targets.
*Most incidents (72%) involved only a single perpetrator, whether an arsonist targeting an abortion clinic or a white supremacist shooter targeting
a synagogue. Single perpetrators were also far more likely to successfully carry out attacks; plots with multiple perpetrators were usually
stopped by law enforcement. Most incidents were not committed by organized extremist groups.
*Firearms were the most popular weapon chosen for attacks (27 of 67 incidents, or 40%, not counting two additional incidents where firearms were
one of two weapon types). Incendiary devices (featured in 25% of incidents) were also popular, followed by explosive devices (18%).
*Right-wing terrorists considered a wide array of targets. Government targets were most frequently chosen by perpetrators (in 18 of 67, or 27% of
incidents), closely followed by targets based on actual or perceived religion (17 of 67, or 25%), which consisted of Muslims and Jews. Abortion-
related targets and targets based on race (primarily Black people) were also common, at nine and eight, respectively (13% and 12%).

. Across both datasets, we find that radical acts perpetrated by individuals associated with left-wing causes are less likely to be violent. In the United States, we find no difference between the level of violence perpetrated by right-wing and Islamist extremists. However, differences in violence emerge on the global level, with Islamist extremists being more likely than right-wing extremists to engage in more violent act
