can someone give me the simplified gymnastics as to what the frick a "stochastic terrorist" is? Doesn't "stochastic" literally just mean "random, unpredictable"

if a terrorist is random and unpredictable - doesn't that inherently imply that they have no solid ideolition to be a terrorist of?

the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted

It means encouraging terrorism. At least until the next definition.

If you have a massive platform and baselessly label an entire group "pedos" and someone goes out and kills members of that group in the name of stopping pedos, I think you bear some responsibility.

That goes both ways though. If you have a massive platform and baselessly labeled an entire group "fascist" and someone goes out and kills members of that group in the name of stopping fascists, I think you bear some responsibility.

It means criticising a member of my in-group, which I can't prove had a causal influence on any specific act of terror but conceivably increased the probability of an act taking place somewhere sometime by some infinitely small yet nonzero amount. And if you try to apply the term to criticism of someone in my outgroup you're a baby and need to get over yourself.

It means I want to call someone who isn't a terrorist a terrorist. See also: alt-right, "dogwhistle", etc.
