Weird how the people shooting up substations arenât being charged with terrorismâŚ
Well, look at that. We finally found what is needed to have a white âterroristâ instead of âsomeone with issuesâ: just target ultra rich people.
I think the difference in nomenclature may be down to how close the actions are to affecting real change.
Nah. Terrorism is a term exclusively reserved in the West for when rich people suffer consequences at the hands of those significantly poorer than them.
It is a completely valid, justifiable, and effective form of asymmetric warfare.
The ruling class wants to create the narrative that the only people who are allowed to fight back are those who spend lots of money, further enriching them in the process.
And now the words âterroristâ and âheroâ have become synonymous, undoing decades of 9/11 imperialist propaganda in one fell swoop.
I mean I wish. But a man can dream.
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is who wins the war.
The rebels in Star Wars are technically terrorists. Lucas even modeled them after the Vietkong. Same for the Fremen in Dune. In the book, Paulâs holy war is called the Jihad.
Hopefully this should open some eyes, but 9/11 was literally Americaâs version of the recent invasion in Israel.
If anyone reads Osama Bin Ladenâs manifesto, he explicitly states that Western support for Israel is one of the main reasons for the attack.
Yeah. I remember as a kid wondering why they would attack the states like that and my parents and every other adult I asked have different versions of âthey hate our freedomâ or âtheyâre Muslim extremists and want everyone who isnât Muslim to die.â I live in Canada so I can only imagine how much worse it was in the US. To me, even as a child of 11 years old, that sounded far fetched and didnât make much sense. Once the internet became popular I looked it up and realized it wasnât as black and white, good vs evil as all that. Honestly thatâs one of the things that made me start seeing the US as an evil country and start realizing what imperialism was and how horrific it was for the world.
If he can be charged as a terrorist, so should the ceoâs that let people die for a profit
If he can be charged as a terrorist, so can Rittenburg, the Jan 6th rioters, and school shooters
His lawyers should go for a defense of others defense. Millions of lives were in imminent danger. He had no choice but to act.
I simultaneously do and do not want to see the trolly problem diagram in that courtroom.
