For example [vaguely]: writer creates a character who behaves like X, despite nobody actually behaving like X in real life. Then characters behaving like X become a wide-ranging trope. People in the real world begin to think it’s normal to behave like X, and subsequently start actually behaving like X themselves.
Any actual examples of this phenomenon happening?

21% Right wing deaths from total amount of people murdered in terror acts
2% for Left wing
I already know that is why I said something. The left is known for more property damage though.
Other interesting things
6.9% from ethno nationalists. In the US we would have to include this in right wing terrorism.
69.3% from Jihadists. Good Lord no wonder why their politicians are so anti-muslim.
Also perspective helps as overall the amount of terrorism has been very low for both all of Western Europe and the US excluding events like 9/11 for the last few decades.
