A stochastic process involves random sampling from a distribution. Like taking from a bell curve, most people are going to be in the middle but some will be at the tail. Their (stupid) idea is that if you get more people angry at thing X, then some violent subset is more likely to act.it's a bollocks term anyway, because "stochastic" means "randomly" or "at random", which is the exact opposite of the deliberate actions it describes - this is the kind of thing that happens when you let journalists and redditors near a dictionary
a more accurate definition of "stochastic terrorism" is "whoever uses this term with any seriousness is a complete and utter faggot"
Don't get me wrong it's still a completely BS concept made to curtail free speech. If we see this happen anywhere it's on the left, where they whip up a frenzy in a large segment of the population (many with mental illness), and a few will be "true believers" that shoot up baseball games, burn down cities, try to assassinate candidates, etc.
