Have some issues with whether ‘Incel’ is a political ideology (you didn’t claim this but others have) in the sense defined by Freeden but identifying this act as terrorism within the definitions you (& others) draw on, seems less problematic. But one for further research?

For me, social is good enough to qualify as terrorist (for instance, anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ attacks would fit). I'm less concerned with distinguishing between political and social except as an (interesting!) academic question.

I guess it's down to whether your trying to change laws or policies. That might be implicit in overthrowing Chads and Staceys, and proposed changes to law are certainly part of incel rhetoric.
