Terrorism: "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims:"

Make it make sense because I'm not seeing how this is terrorism.

The actual terrorists, the bourgeois class, are obliged to explain the widespread sensation of terror, but do not want in every case to be identified as its source. Most of the time they would try to stick it on migrants or trans people, but in this case they can do one better: pin it on the activists who have correctly identified the source of terror, and try to crush them into silence.

I'm rich and would rather the word mean something else entirely. Hey, now it does and I get to lock up people who disagree with things that benefit me. The law is only as good as those wielding it.

Full house cleaning needed in UK, US, Aus and some parts of Canada. The rot and corruption cannot stand.

If peaceful protest is going to carry the same sentence as violent terrorism, what's the point of trying to be peaceful?

We know which side of the class war that guy is on.

Add another nail to the so called pretentious "western values" coffin.

This is how effective zionist lobbies are. They probably gut that judge by the walls.
