While it's important to note they are trying to delete stuff like that it's way way more alarming they are deleting cancer research, for many decades to come https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/magazine/trump-administra... and the weird thing is no-one quite understands why, this is not even vaccine related

Ignoring the obvious, you mean?

The most likely explanation that I've seen so far is that the trans-humanists believe that they will solve the aging problem and that that will solve cancer as a byproduct, so we should pour lots of money into their pet subject. It's pretty obvious why they would want to solve aging first as long as they don't have cancer, after that it is going to be a toss-up.

Reading the actual study says:

> 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.

Other than the Weather Underground, I'm having trouble thinking of left wing groups.

I think most organized and militarized western leftist groups were probably defunct by the end of the Cold war.

I’d assume it’s mostly a product of who the enemy was during the Cold War. Though I understand the far right made a large shift in how decentralized they operate around the end of the 20th century too after the feds started picking a lot of various KKK and other organization members off.

The first paragraph:

> 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. In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.

antifa

Maybe I'm biased, but I don't think antifa has been relevant for the past... five years? My mind puts them in the pre-COVID bucket.

There is a wiki for that. You will find it supports your position. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Left-wing_militant_gr...
