the term “stochastic terrorism”
In: Other
If I shoot you, Im a murderer.
If I shoot you, yelling ‘All (insert stereotype here)s must die!’, Im a terrorist.
If I go on TV and say ‘someone should shoot this guy for being (insert etc etc)’ and someone shoots you, I would have committed stochastic terrorism.
Terrorism is using terror to force a political or religious ideology. The stochastic part of the term just means that my actions have made it more likely to happen, not necessarily by my hands.
