    Uh huh.

    I have zero doubt that you would call 911 should the “need” arise. So you’re a terrorist as well. As am I. There is literally zero distinction between you, me, and Mohamed Atta.

    A puppy would qualify as a terrorist. A house cat. A sheep. A blackberry bush. An amoeba qualifies as a terrorist under this insane definition.

      Congratulations, you’ve realized terrorist is a meaningless word. Governments throw it around to tell us who to hate but ultimately it means nothing.

        Or, and hear me out on this: terrorist doesn’t mean “fucking anything ever”. The term actually only refers to those who use or threaten unlawful violence in an attempt to achieve an effect that could only be lawfully acquired through executive, legislative, judicial, or democratic processes.

              If you genuinely believe that the US is a true democracy for and by the people, I have a bridge to sell you. Get a group of people together and declare independence and see how far you get before the police or military come after you.

                We The People do not recognize your small group as independent. You are living in our society, utilizing our roads, our government, industrial, and commercial infrastructure. Your declaration of independence is nonsensical so long as you are dependent on the rest of us.
