Stochastic terrorism is indeed a concerning form of extremist violence that is fueled by the "othering" of certain groups or individuals. It's important for society to recognize and address the underlying factors that contribute to this phenomenon in order to prevent further violence and harm. Thank you for sharing this insight from Eric K. Ward.
