So earlier I took a look at the wiki list of Domestic Terrorism incidents. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terrorism_in_the_Un... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45207030 Over the last 40 years: 8/16 attacks on that list are linked to White Supremacists(Counting OKC) ~50% In the last 15 years, again about 50% are linked to White Supremacists and ~41% linked to Radical Islam. | ||||||||

Are you analyzing the list of "Notable Domestic Terrorist Attacks" on that page? Which has already been filtered by some criteria of notability? A more complete list is actually prompted at the top of that section and is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_Stat.... However, you've possibly read that already since you're 41% number appears to be sourced from that page and is specifically talking about deaths and not events from 9/11/2001 to 2017. That 41% is heavily influenced by the deadliest event which was the Orlando Shooting, and if you look at the overall picture, 73% of events were perpetrated by white supremacists. Honestly, directly reading the GAO study and the other, more recent, studies is a lot more illuminating and illustrates the growing issue of white supremacy and far-right political violence. | ||||||||
