And this seems accurate as the ratio of larping to terrorism is probably millions to one.
Thousands of people larp every day in the US. Terrorism is fairly rare with maybe a few events per year.
- 2devnull 3y ago“Terrorism is fairly rare” The only people who make that claim are terrorists.
- smrq 3y agoNot only is this a weird generalization, but it doesn't even make sense. Why would a terrorist want to downplay the frequency of terror incidents? That defeats the entire purpose of trying to, you know, inspire terror.
- prepend 3y agoIt always seemed that terrorists are stupid and irrational in their attempts to achieve their goals, fortunately for society. So maybe this is another case of terrorists just being stupid. Or I expect that GP had some sort of brain fart, disagreed with my statement, and typed the first version of “nuh uh” they came up with.
- prepend 3y agoI’m fairly certain I’m not a terrorist and I made the statement. Therefore; I think your conclusion is false. I made the statement because according to statista [0] there were only 149 terrorist acts in North America from 2007-2022. That seems fairly rare to me.

- sircastor 3y agoI think this might expose (again) the wrong-headed assumptions of law-enforcement for how common terrorism is. It’s rare, but in order to justify the military-industrial investment behind it, we need to be told that we are under constant threat. That terrorism is everywhere, always.
