DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing

Is there anyone monitoring US government websites for deletion of pages beyond what people may notice in an ad hoc way? I feel like this should be automated.
gs17•1h ago
There's an Archive Team project for the government, although it's just trying to get as much of a snapshot as possible: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/US_Government Detecting changes across all pages in real time is going to be difficult to accomplish.

> Elon Musk, who owns X, recently tweeted that he was going to “fix” the platform’s AI assistant Grok after it cited research that showed right-wing violence was more common than left-wing violence: “My apologies, we are fixing this cringe idiocy by Grok,” he said.

I understand why it's hard to make AI that's accurate, but Musk's elite engineers can't even make it push a preferred narrative consistently. Sounds like it should be a much easier problem to solve.

altcognito•1h ago
I think the last time they tried it ended up going mechahitler
Insanity•53m ago
Regardless of the bias inherent in Grok, it wasn't a good experience to me. I tried it for some time before going back to ChatGPT (this was before GPT-5 though, I'm also not super happy with GPT-5 UX)
tim333•15m ago
I find it quite amusing that Grok tends to contradict Musk's untruths.
Insanity•1h ago
I think this is not too surprising? Both the result and the action of hiding it?

From my understanding, right-wing usually means more pro-gun. If you already have guns, the threshold for terrorist actions is likely lower.

arthurofbabylon•1h ago
Not surprising, and absolutely newsworthy.
Insanity•1h ago
Oh yes, I didn’t mean to say it should be ignored. Just more expressing that sadly I’m not surprised by this action with the current government.
hypeatei•1h ago
> I think this is not too surprising?

I don't think we should normalize cover ups like this especially when it comes to political violence studies. POTUS immediately blamed the "radical left" after the attack without evidence. Not only is that reckless, it's not even the most likely scenario.

> If you already have guns, the threshold for terrorist actions is likely lower

Guns are easily accessible to everyone in America.

jdiff•1h ago
Guns are accessible, but prior gun ownership is skewed, and prior gun ownership is one less barrier to cross when attempting political violence. In theory, that should mean increased attempts for that high-gun-ownership demographic.
Insanity•1h ago
True, but if you already have them at home and you’re raised in a family that uses them, presumably the barrier to using one is lower.
dylan604•1h ago
Other than the Weather Underground, I'm having trouble thinking of left wing groups.

antifa
hypeatei•1h ago
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.
jdiff•49s ago
They've remained a continuous feature of right wing scare media.
cstoner•1h ago
Generally, when someone says something like "left wing groups" they mean something with a formal organization.

"Antifa" is less of an organization than even some loose collective like "anonymous"

Are there left-wing agitators? Sure, black bloc and other "direct action" protestors have been around since at least the world trade protests in the 90s.

But to the best of my knowledge there isn't really a formal "antifa" organization to dismantle or anything.

crock_smacker•1h ago
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.

josefritzishere•1h ago
There is a wiki for that. You will find it supports your position. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Left-wing_militant_gr...
bryanlarsen•1h ago
If significant armed left wing groups actually existed, we might actually get meaningful gun control legislation, like happened during the rise of Black Panther.

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

o11c•1h ago
Ignoring the obvious, you mean?
jacquesm•1h ago
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.

Non-american here: if you get to the point where you want to kill another person or groups of people, it doesn't really matter whether you are left/right/pink/blue/whatever. You are unwell. To blame an entire group for one person's mental break is silly. You have no idea what is in another person's head, what their beliefs are, which of those beliefs are conflicting with each other. You might as well say that because the person ate pizza on the day, that we should blame and ban italian pizza places. Silly.

I live in a very broken country too, but our people are not shooting up random places/people. We have many guns too, so we cannot attribute it to that.

I think the kind of person that is willing to kill others (in the american sense, shootings), typically are highly suicidal but since they are able to blame the society or some aspect of society, they come to the conclusion to not commit suicide but to rather attack the system as a final punishment / giving up moment or to assert that they have some form of control. They ofcoarse find no relief there either.

Meanwhile your media and politician use these people as scape goats and cheerleaders for their own agendas. Disgusting in its own right.
