If you just call it terrorism more people will understand you. I understand you’re trying to draw a distinction and I’m here to tell you as someone who grew up in a rural town of 1200 people…just call it terrorism. These people aren’t backtracking on language because they thought of an exception. It’s part of why they hate us.
Only the left has to use language accurately. The right does not care about language.
Or facts.
Petty and weak is THE character trait of conservatism.
Brigading incoming.
There are enough conservatives on lemmy for that to work? I honestly have been on the lookout and it feels like 99% of people are actively anti-conservative here.
Idk how effectively, but it happens. Cool sn.
Thanks! Edward Snowden is definitely not well appreciated enough.
There are a few instances that are broadly liberal, which is generally tolerant of the intolerant, as long as they’re polite.
The systemic favoritism the right gets is insane, even from left wing people. We need to atop biasing in their favor, they don't deserve it
This thread is about someone who was murdered over a rainbow flag and you’re talking about people being too rude online?? Please get some perspective.
Good points. And anyway, once the trigger was pulled it became normal terrorism.
All the regressive media bullshit that poisons these peoples' minds is the stochastic terrorism.
Yeah they’re no different from people calling a fatwa on a journalist.
