Otherwise gee fucking idiots I guess you realy needed a whole research department to figure things out like

•Alt-Right supergroup activity remains near its all-time high. This activity has been high since the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August (Fig. 1).

•The forums with the greatest use of Violent/Aggressive discourse in November were in Health Misinformation, scoring higher than Incels/Femcels and the Extreme Right (Fig. 7).

•Reference to sex crimes was up 13% in December and was up 32% since August (Fig. 11).

:the-democrat: reading this : "Great, its all according to the plan. Carry on mrMcdoofus, keep us informed, this is very useful information, it will come in handy when we decide to do absolutely nothing for the next 2 years."

    Extreme Right includes antisemitic and Christian Identity forums, neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, secessionists, and White pride groups.

    Extreme Left includes anarchist and socialist forums.

    Wow, these two things are so equal.

      Honestly surprised anyone tried laundering "extreme left" data with this site lol. Figured it would be eco-fascist groups or something, whose forums get like 1 post every quarter.

      Most peoples' conservative aunt/uncle's Facebook post comments are more violent than this place.

        Really it's a little disheartening. Our little 10k member (most of them probably not active posters) shitposting site is significant enough to constitute a significant fraction of the "extreme left"? jfc I hope he's just bad at google searching.

      From another one of this guy's presentations, this time about perceptions of policing:

        "Anti-fascism is an extreme-left position" is really telling on yourself.

        By his definition the "barefoot is legal" movement is extremist on the level on the KKK and Neo-Nazis.

        You just know that they threw in the extremism definition at the top so they can pretend they're being objective, while hiding bias inside loaded terminology. Why use terms like heterodox when they can use eXtReMiSt instead?
