Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

That’s so perfectly typicsl for the right.
It’s really very simple - if the evidence shows that one of their beliefs is wrong, then their principles dictate that they have no choice but to… bury the evidence.
Not solely a right tactic. You also see this with product studies sponsored by big corporations.
Sort of.
I mean - yes - corporations do it, but for them it’s a simple business strategy. It’s not a matter of whether they want to believe it or not - it’s just that that information getting out would hurt their profits and nothing matters more than their profits.
But for right-wingers, it’s some sort of weird cognitively dissonant delusional dogma thing - like if they can successfully hide the evidence to the contrary, that’ll somehow make their beliefs actually true. They’ll be able to face the new day, confident that their beliefs are true, because after all, nobody can prove otherwise, right?
I think there are those people for sure, but this instance seems more in line with what the corporations are doing. I doubt the DOJ and the people responsible for this decision care one way or the other about the reality of the situation. They care about what hurts their “profits” which in this case isn’t money so much as political capital.
… so the right…

Their feelings don’t care about the facts
Here is an archive of the DOJ site in question. They had to be sure they took it down before Vance hopped on Kirk’s nazi podcast to spout lies claiming the opposite of objective reality.
Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1] In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.[2] A recent threat assessment by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concluded that domestic violent extremists are an acute threat and highlighted a probability that COVID-19 pandemic-related stressors, long-standing ideological grievances related to immigration, and narratives surrounding electoral fraud will continue to serve as a justification for violent actions.[3]
Can’t be letting pesky facts get in the way of them abolishing the Democratic party.
If we delete and hide the evidence does it really exist?
Just stop testing
I was gonna say, this was something they already tried in his first term during covid.
The lack of serious backlash, outrage, or even general coverage of the insanity and facism that’s coming out of the current administration by the media is pretty concerning.
It feels like everyone is just running with it, and I have a hard time beleiving that many people are OK with all of this.
I feel exactly the same. When TACO says he’s going to lower drug prices 1200% and nobody pushes back or he threatens a news agency and they just say ok. Like fitting people for just saying what Kirk said, while he was celebrated for it just blows me away. No fight at all, just rolling over so easy. Only Harvard seemed to put up a fight.
I feel ya, you keep thinking that there is no way this is real, and yet it is
Down the memory hole…
Ministry of Truth.
This is bad.
It’s also so obvious I’d consider it a show of power. A threat.Right wing Europeans are continually taking notes of what can be done. And they are all forming an Internationale.
Its so fucking bad.We need to shut down fascists by disrupting their conferences and communications, and dividing them by disparaging the evangelists’ support for Trump as betraying Christian values (because Trump is atheist), and by disparaging the fascists’ support for evangelists as betraying the state values (in that the church doesn’t listen to fascism), and so on. Divide and rule.
Communists need to have more children than the fascists.

Got it, so clone army it is.
The American Nazi party deletes documents showing their supporters are pieces of shit… Who could have ever seen this coming.
Every German who went to school after 1945, for one.
Every German who went to school after
1945, for one.More like 1980.
In the immediate aftermath of World War II, there was a widespread reluctance among Germans to acknowledge the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime. However, this began to change in the 1960s and 1970s, as a new generation of Germans began to grapple with the legacy of their country’s past. The first efforts to teach about the Holocaust in German schools began in the 1980s, and since then, the curriculum has continued to evolve to better reflect the complexities of this history.

Wow, what fragile egos.
Someone keyed my minivan over the weekend, probably because of some pro-trans/science stickers. Luckily the paint is not a concern of mine (it had rattle-canned sections when I bought it, I knew what I was getting), but still. I pointed it out to my wife, she just quipped “and they call us snowflakes 😂”. God I love that woman.
All of this shit makes me want to play dirty now. Preach hate, get hate; and all that.
I’ve been simmering on some ‘radical left-wing’ grafitti such as;
Be Kind
Build Community
Don’t Hate
Love Thy Neighbor
But I don’t want to get black bagged for spreading such subversive rhetoric.
I would straight up start busting windows out of any vehicle with trump stickers. But I have a family who needs fed and housed, so I don’t.
Yet.
You’re clearly a menace to society! I ought to turn you into the thought police for my brownie points. I might even get enough for a gold star this year!
“The facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd continues to hate facts.
Inconvenient truth.
That book will probably be banned soon and the author will be arrested and sent to a reeducation camp together with all the other liberal disruptors.
So what’s this bullshit called now cause justice is not the correct word.
I got you, fam, the word you are looking for is “jingoism”.
The MAGA DOJ is the Department of Jingoism.
Oh wow… Hey I just learned that water is wet btw.
On a comical note, a liquid’s ability to hold onto a solid surface can be considered “wet”.
There has been considerable scientific and philosophical debate on whether “water is wet”, or if “liquids make solids wet on contact”.
There, learned yet a other thing today!
(Yes. The news content has unfortunately become trite. I understood the sarcasm!)
Well, “study” is already such a radical-left, woke concept! Like all those “studies” about vaccines. True MAGA Patriots go by gut feeling and by other things that are also produced in the guts!
You know if we actually wanted to get rid of these people it would be really easy. All we have to do is release some deadly but preventable disease. Then encourage everyone to get vaccines.
The problem with covid is that it wasn’t really deadly for most people. So they got sick and were probably miserable but they never learnt their lesson.
A friend of mine, always with a non optimal immune system, had planned a wedding anniversary vacation to Mexico in 2009 but refused to get a shot against the Mexican Flu…
Within a week of his vacation he got infected with the Mexican Flu, which by then was a pandemic… (the western world almost forgot about this one) He quickly was transported to an ER in his home city, tubes sticking out of him everywhere, no one allowed to visit him beyond the airlock… Eventually he recovered but it took at least a year to feel sort of healthy. Claimed he regretted not getting the H1N1 (Mexican Flu) vaccine.
He got a flu-shot a year after, but after the 2nd year he refused “if I get one I get a stuffed nose for a full month”.
When I reminded him of not learning a lesson from the Mexican Flu, he claimed it wasn’t that bad…
Almost had no proper recollection of being in emergency care with tubing all over his body…Year 5 after his H1N1 adventure he had been without flu shots for a while, got another flu, was badly ill for 6 weeks, lost his job because of it… Tried to convince himself it was a younger worker who stole his job…
We broke contact after a while where it was clear he was willfully spiraling downward into a black hole of denial and blaming others.
So, yeah, folks like that do not learn a lesson, not even if they end up very ill and it having lasting effects on their life, there is a pressing need to find another person to lay blame on.
You should reconnect with them to see if they are now blamimg immigrants for their situation.
A post truth regime.
Corrected text:
“Following Chork getting what he deserved, and the Trump terrorist regime’s threat to go after a demented fiction, a study showing most domestic terrorism being far-right, was censored.”
Of course it was.
