Never mind that every authoritarian regime labels its opponents as "terrorists". Thanks, "War On Terror" for enabling this!
- dredmorbius 5y agoBeing convinced beyond any shred of doubt that you are on the sight of light and righteousness is a very common gateway to ultimate evil. The truly good tend to doubt themselves to the extreme.

Um, the British in Ireland started this within a few years after the words “terrorism” and “terrorist” referring initially specifically to the acts of the Jacobin revolutionary regime in France, and the perpetrators of those acts, were coined, and its been pretty common since. Blaming the US’s early 21st Century War on Terror for the trend is... inaccurate.
