Nothing but the truth though. For me the question is not if we get a serious left-wing terrorist uprising out of all the shit happening at the moment, it is when. Personal guess it's going to be either UK or German's environmental activists or Israel, with a serious leaning to the latter given that everyone over there gets a ton of military mandatory experience.

What do you mean by left-wing terrorist uprising? Isn't left-wing ideology kind of relative to each country e.g. Icelandic left-wing/right-wing is not like Chinese Japanese left-wing/right-wing.

A lot of the issues I stated - e.g. the rise of the authoritarian/far right, climate change, wealth disparity - are usually associated with the (far) left, or at least the left is the one pushing for reforms.
Generally, people don't become terrorists... if they don't have the feeling they have no other choice left. Israel is the closest to that tipping point, with soldiers threatening to hand in their papers (which is very unusual as it puts the country at a serious risk should any of its enemies attack), but climate change protestors in the UK and Germany have recently escalated their methods (and so has public response, including a lorry driver running over a protestor blocking a street here in Germany), and god only knows what will happen in the US should Trump gain a second term or, worse, DeSantis.
That is why I'm relatively certain at least some people will choose violence - the question is how many will follow them.

Judging by history, long periods of wealth disparity, inequality, hunger, authoritarianism, etc, are inevitably met with brutal uprisings: e.g the French/Russian/Chinese Revolution.
As for how many will follow such a revolution: any kind of right(or right policies disguised as left as we have/had in Russia/China) politics, continued over a long period of time, will eventually have the effect of creating a small privileged ruler class out of touch with the rest of society. Thus, it's no wonder that usually EVERYBODY joins such upheavals to dethrone the rich/powerful.
