isn’t every assassination politically motivated?

We can go further and describe everything we do and every way in which we interact with others as "politically motivated" because politics is literally just dealing with someone else. If there were two people left on earth, there would be politics. If there was only one person left, there would finally be no politics.

And that's my platform when I run: no more politics 2028! lets gooooo!

Honestly yeah. My understanding of politics is power dynamics, which is just built into everything

I don't know what level of irony you're on, but seriously, isn't the political motivation what makes it different from a (paid) murder?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

"Political motivation" is just the term we use to describe something that happened that we haven't codified into law yet because it hasn't become the widespread, social norm.

Are you doing a Peterson move and just asking me to define my terms? Anyway, I'm off to bed, maybe I'il expand on that tomorrow.
