I'm aware that "terrorist" often connotes "islamic terrorist". I'm deliberately pushing against this connotation - I don't think white people should get a pass when they engage in similar actions.
- vidoc 10y agoI think I see your point more clearly now. It's probably a matter of interpretation as the connotation I had in mind wasn't the one your proposed, but the idea we tend to imagine any form of terrorism as exercising violence on innocent humans usually called victims. In this particular case, I was thinking it didn't legitimate appropriate use of the term since we are essentially talking burnt cars and beaten up cops.
