Libs of TikTok's Chaya Raichik and right-wing podcaster Elijah Schaffer dismissed the term "stochastic terrorist" as a smear. Raichik said that she thinks people on the left made up the term to describe her specifically, and Schaffer agreed. Raichik also speculated that the term was made up to describe her, Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh, and Chris Rufo.
The term "stochastic terrorist" is used to describe someone who incites violence through the use of rhetoric that is likely to be interpreted by some as a call to action. Raichik and Schaffer's dismissal of the term is dangerous because it normalizes the use of rhetoric that can lead to violence.
It is important to remember that words have power. The rhetoric that Raichik and Schaffer use can have a real-world impact. It can embolden people who are already inclined to violence, and it can make it more difficult to hold people accountable for their actions.
We should not allow ourselves to be desensitized to the dangers of this type of rhetoric. We should call it out when we see it, and we should hold those who use it accountable.
