Terrorism means doing bad things to normal people for political or religious reasons. I can’t really figure out why you wouldn’t call the OKC bombing or the Tokyo subway sarin attack or the Rajneeshpuram salmonella attack or the Dawson’s Field hijackings or the Toronto van attack terrorism just because the Minneapolis ICE raids are also terrorism. I don’t see any concession of terminology here at fucking all and I’m really curious to see how you justify that. The Weather Underground were terrorists responding to the FBI’s terrorism (among others).
Is your argument that since the DoJ doesn’t think white supremacists like the ones that almost blew up a community in Garden City are terrorists anymore that those fuckers aren’t terrorists anymore? Or is it that because I want to call ICE terrorists I’m not allowed to call the Madrid train bombers terrorists anymore?
I truly do not understand this perspective.
Yeah, it's a stupid hot take.
