    What’s it called when people use the threat of violence and intimidation to push a political agenda?

    Why is everyone afraid to call a terrorist a terrorist?

      Because he is a white conservative.

      Hey, man, that guy is not nearly brown enough to be a terrorist. We call the white ones “lone wolves”.

      /s, but like also, sadly not really /s

        You might need a dictionary there. This is exactly what terrorism is. It’s not just driving planes in towers.

        This is like people who don’t consider white people immigrants, they’re “expats”. If your contry is invaded and you fight back, you might be called a terrorist but you won’t be one, unless of course you terrorise the population and use fear instead of attacking military targets.

        This isn’t a debate of falsely labeling something as terrorism for disinformation. It doesn’t matter who is right in terrorism.

        The difference between a terrorist and a rebel is their targets. This kid attacked innocent civilians to scare them away from voting. That’s terrorism. Violence in resistance to oppression should be directed at the oppressors.

        that’s an argument against ever using the word terrorist, which is a bit much
