Weird how the people shooting up substations arenât being charged with terrorismâŚ
OK, actually this quite fits the definition of terrorism by the FBI:
Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.
Personally I think that this definition sucks. If I steal an egg to make a statement against capitalism this might as well be considered terrorism. For reference I looked up the German definition of terrorism and I think that this definition is much better(translated with deeply since Iâm lazy):
Terrorism is the sustained fight for political goals that are to be achieved with the help of attacks on the life, limb and property of other people, in particular through serious criminal offences such as those listed in Section 129a (1) of the German Criminal Code (StGB) or through other criminal offences that serve to prepare such offences.
The main difference is, that this definition only includes high level crimes and it also states that there has to be an active fight against some form of political system. I wouldnât be to sure if the murder of the UHC CEO would be considered terrorism under the German definition. The reason Iâm not so sure is, because I wouldnât count one assassination an active prolonged fight(take this with a grain of salt, Iâm not a lawyer or have any serious knowledge on the law).
Donât understand me wrong, I also think that calling this is bullshit, I just want to inform you, that this isnât anything they made out of thin air.
Ever notice how anyone fighting the status quo (even actual rebels in a state of war) are always called terrorists?
Itâs a way to condemn by association (and dehumanise), as well as use all the anti-terror legal loopholes against you.
Pirates and emperors
The emperor imprisons thr pirate and berates him for thr violent chaos he was perpetuating against his empire . Calling him a pirate and a terrorist
Thr pirate replies "you do the same things to your own people and foreigners. When I burn down a house you call it terrorism. When you do it. You call it thr cost of war.
My actions are vilified because Iâm a pirate. Your actions are excused because youâre an emperor
⌠or something like that
You know the difference between knowing and understanding something?
Well I feel like I just went from knowing to understanding that I live in a fascist state.
Their terrorist, our freedom fighter
Iâm also terrified by by insurance policy. Could someone do something about those terrorist?
