Why not? For most things I'd agree with you, but in the case of terrorism specifically (whatever exactly that word means) I'm not convinced. Isn't the goal of terrorism to inflict terror or raise awareness? If no one is talking about your act of terror you've failed at your goal.
- sneak 6y agoBecause terrorism is used by small groups to inflict tyranny over larger groups, and if those larger groups self-inflict tyranny in the form of censorship, they reach the same end as terror attacks themselves. Just like poker, terrorism isn't a thing that exists in a vacuum: it exists inside of, and in relation to, wider society.
