White people don't do a terrorism, they either make an oopsie or they're lone wolves nobody can predict and we should give our thoughts and prayers before ignoring anything else about them until right wing media finds the truth about their radical socialist antifa motivations.

No, white people absolutely do terrorism. Lone Wolf and "leaderless resistance" was actually a term popularized by white supremacist groups in the 80s and 90s after a few neo-nazi groups got taken down by some big federal investigations, and also after they saw what happened to the 1970s era BLA and violent leftist groups.

It's amazing how quickly people forgot the original domestic terror groups of the 1970s and the radical white supremacists of the 1980s and 1990s.

If you use the term lone wolf (I prefer stray dog) you are explicitly referencing a terror tactic.

I can't understand why a tactic popularized by white supremacist terrorists is used by white supremacist terrorists who are explicitly instructed to follow this tactic

Edit: Dylan Root is a perfect example- he carried out a violent attack in pursuit of a racist political goal, but he wasn't explicitly part of a structured group that helped plan, direct or support an attack. This is the textbook definition of lone wolf terrorism.

Do you have a cite for that? Not calling you out, just want the reference to help show that lone wolf is an advocated tactic, not just a crazy old coot.

Sure. The term was pretty popular in the 1990s when I was researching various terrorist groups (the copy of The Turner Diaries from a university library had been annotated with highlights and notes in the margins gently caress that student), but here's a sourced wiki article on it.

China on Friday confirmed it has now imposed travel restrictions on 14 cities, home to tens of millions of people, and pledged to build a new hospital within six days in Wuhan, the epicentre of a deadly virus that is sweeping across the country and through Asia. 

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/24/china-locks-eight-cities-pledges-new-hospital-within-six-days/

The six day hospital thing, people are getting ahead of themselves on. Lots of folks seem to believe they're building some state of the art multistory permanent structure. You don't build a hospital like that for a quarantine, you build a massive, single story hospital that is spread out and burnt to a crisp entirely when the outbreak ends.
