Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
Bigot, xenophobia and islamophobe are already frowned upon so I don't see why not.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
It would be better to encourage the left to continue misusing all these words. The more people get called Nazis for wanting borders enforced, or misogynists for wanting gender equality, or racists for voting in the interests of whites instead of demographic genocide, the more inoculated people become to the left's totalitarian tactics.

Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
That may be the primer. But a bullet does not go very far without powder and a barrel.
See some of the same uproar in Norway regarding wolves, but to a much lesser degree. Urbanites think farmers are pissed off solely because of wolf policies, because that's what's triggering protests. But the whole wolf issue is just the icing on the cake.
People get angry when they have to face consequences by changes dictated by people who don't have to face the same consequences. The whole approach to climate policies are filled with these things. Airplane tickets are dirt cheap, because urbanites like to travel, while they go after the livelihoods of people that on average pollute way less.
Your average low wage rural hick with a pick up truck, going hunting with his buddies with lead shot, are being targeted for their lifestyle way harder than your average urban excessive consumer who like to travel by plane ten times a year. And of those two, it's no fucking doubt who's got the highest carbon footprint. But it's also no doubt who's got more political power.

Guess it all depends on your definition of "terrorism".BjornP wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 3:42 pmI wouldn't call anyone who killed Macron a terrorist. Pulling out a gun and blowing his brains out... that's assassination. Planning to do it, is planning an assassination. You, and government cunts the world over, can choose to call that "terrorism" if you like. In China, Tibetans and Uighurs who complain about the government putting them in concentration camps are "terrorists", too. Fat load of shit that word's worth.
So fuck that useless word. You don't like the reason why someone wants to kill Macron? Fine and fair enough. You don't like killing Macron, because he was an elected leader? Also fine and fair. Yet sometimes killing even the democratically elected is perfectly legitimate. It depends entirely on their actions. Put the guys in jail for plotting to kill him. But don't blow smoke up people's ass with the "terrorism" bullshit. No politician is a civilian.
The second part of my post wasn't aimed that much at you, it was aimed at how some media have taken to liken opposition to Macron as some "nationalist, right-wing" thing. Makes it easier for them to dismiss it that way.
Acts of violence to change politics, committed by non-state actors seems like a generally accepted definition of terrorism. Using that definition, assassinating Macron could be determined as terrorism.
But if we use the definition of "causing terror in the general population, for the purpose of obtaining political goals", assassinating him would not necessarily be terrorism.

Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
It's more about causing terror in the general population. This creates political friction for the opposing government beset by terrorism to continue some policy the terrorists want to stop. It's especially effective in democracies. AQ managed to put the socialists in power in Spain with a terror attack a while back and pull them out of the war in Afghanistan.
Assassinating the leader of your opponents is not strictly terrorism. I think where it gets fuzzy is when a terror group assassinates a leader in their opponent's government. I agree with Bjorn that it is not strictly terrorism, but there is no way to stop the broadening term of terrorism without red pilling virtually everybody on how the MSM lies and distorts everything -- which Bjorn refuses to admit is a problem even though here is railing against that problem's effect.

Agree. We completely disarm The Left if we take away their ability to call names, which, in actuality, is their only weapon.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 10:54 pmBigot, xenophobia and islamophobe are already frowned upon so I don't see why not.

It's an excellent point that all these Elitists, be they Globalists or Urbanites are pushing policies they never have to deal with or really pay for.
