    I was banned by feminists for linking credible sources that the supposed suffragetes were Terrorists (It’s on Wikipedia)

    The point is I did my due diligence & posted sources & boy these were some vile people I tell you

      supposed suffragetes were Terrorists

      “Supposed”? Claiming the “suffragettes were terrorists” when < 1% were involved is just plain wrong. With blanket statements like that you sound like a fascist propagandist, and your ban was justified. Thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole though.

      Context is key. It looks like the suffragettes had been peacefully protesting for decades before a very small number resorted to militancy, and the result of their “terrorism” was minuscule — 4 deaths and 24 injuries total in 2 years — before they gave it up entirely when WW1 broke out.

      Remember! To the monarchs, revolution was “terrorism”. I’d never advocate for harming civilians, but "those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.’

      Also western governments historically — especially the criminals in 3 letter agency secret police — have constantly used terrorism to advance their own political, economic, and military agendas around the world. They only decry terrorism when doing so is politically or financially advantageous, like lying about WMD’s in Iraq to transfer trillions to their crony psychopaths in the MIC. Israel literally detonated thousands of pagers recently in a premeditated act of terrorism, but they’re the “goodies” so the incidental murder of civilians is justified (/s #psychotic). The US drone program around the world IS terrorism too.

      Authoritarians will never be overthrown peacefully, and all governments will always declare any insurgency terrorism; even when the insurgents have exhausted all other options and are explicitly targeting military. Hell, even Putin likely used the FSB to stage false flag terrorist attacks and seize power.

          A masterful retort.

          Surely this shall be recorded in the annals of history alongside other such historical zingers as “I know you are but that am i ?” or the seminal classic “Your Mother”.

      One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. I have exactly zero issue with terrorism from oppressed minorities.

        They were no freedom fighters buddy, but please keep indulging in your fantasy

        If bombing churches is freedom to you then I hate to see you define what’s the opposite

          First of all, your comment doesn’t make any logical sense. Second, religion is the source of the vast majority of all evil in the world, so churches being bombed doesn’t bother me. Especially since my little sister was molested for years by our pastor, and the church tried to cover it up afterwards and claimed she, an eight year old girl, seduced and distracted him into sinning.

          So bomb away. I’ll be grabbing the popcorn.

      The world was really swell when I used to trust wikipedia as an unbiased source for any information that is even a glancingly, remotely political subject

      Did you link this excellent article about suffragettes who learned jujitsu and used it to defend themselves against cops and chauvanists while protesting for women’s right to vote? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffrajitsu
