They used terror to get what they wanted. That’s the dictionary definition of terrorism. Just because they were bad at executing their plan doesn’t mean they weren’t terrorists attempting a coup.
- FFRefresh 6y agoHere is the dictionary definition of terrorism: "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." How many civilians were targeted with violence/intimidation in the pursuit of political aims? How do other politically motivated protests/riots align with this definition? Are there other protest movements where civilians have been exposed to violence? Stepping away from actual physical violence that has happened, how many examples of aggressive/violent speech amongst a protest group are required for us to label the entire cadre of people protesting as 'terrorists'?
