Do you have an example where you think those two concepts could be used interchangeably in academia?
I weren't able to find one and I don't think those terms describe similar ideas. Mob dynamics might be about scale in some form, but they are usually not about what we would commonly refer to as terrorism.
“As described by leading scholars, stochastic terrorism involves ‘the use of mass media to provoke random acts of ideologically motivated violence that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable’ (Hamm and Spaaij, 2017)”
maybe inciting “distributed mob violence” would be a better way to translate it for laymen.
You can place blame anywhere depending on your agenda.
That would depend on what evidence you can show to the court that convinces them that you were actually inspired by them.
The court of law operates with letters in the mail, not comments on a website.
Are hasbara organizations stochastic terrorist in nature? Someone told me they exist to distract from settler-colonial violence against Palestinians.
Who should get to decide which warrants investigation?
I believe that, in the United States, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and congress are the ones who decide what warrants investigation, generally speaking.
