Hmm, apparently terrorism is way less of a big deal than it seems like. This map covers 47 years, and only a few thousand (or maybe a couple of tens of thousands) deaths (rough estimate - am I wrong?).
Compared to maybe 3M excess deaths in Europe during covid…
Yeah right? Let’s see a map showing all the deaths from bombs that have been dropped in the Middle East and North Africa in the same timeframe. While it’s still a horrible thing to happen of course, it always amazes me how people in my country will act like a few people being killed in an attack is a huge tragedy. But then just treat mass deaths of civilians somewhere not in Europe like it’s nothing
The thing about terrorism is the sudden shock that comes with it. Someone is deliberately doing a terrible action. It mentally affects an entire nation.
I didn’t feel well for an entire week after Utoya, and I’m not even Norwegian.

Yeah but it is more politically convenient to discuss
