[Serious] Far-Right Extremism Is a Global Problem

[WinterHold]

The Oxford Dictionary calls terrorism “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”

Hmm.. so trying to burn down buildings full of people in the pursuit of political aims. Sounds like textbook terrorism to me. Is the Oxford dictionary wrong on this one? Why doesn't the US consider the Proud Boys to be a terrorist group if it's so beyond obvious? Why doesn't any other country on the planet other than mine consider them to be a terrorist group if they are clearly all terrorists? Iran considers atheists to be terrorists, but that doesn't make it so. It doesn't matter what political aims you have behind a terrorist action. As long as they are political aims. If an animal rights activist who thinks they're trying to improve the world for the better commits an act of violence in the pursuit of political aims, that's terrorism.

I don't think BLM, Antifa, Proud Boys, atheists, or animal rights activists should all be smeared as terrorists. If certain members of those groups happen to commit acts of violence in the pursuit of political aims, then it's fair game to call those specific people that.

That Oxford dictionary entry very loose and unjust; as a Muslim I saw the worse of such loose definitions and I know finally why they exist: to suck the blood out of any enemy with clear conscious.

Every movement of resistance includes violence against the man with the gun; a reminder is the Draft Riots of 1863 in New York:

If the government is supporting violence against the civilians and protect it, then a revolt against that tyranny is not even close to terrorism. That what BLM did: white cops were massacring colored people, so colored people revolted.

But how about an organized white supremacist gang that broke into the Capitol to stop the elections after their boss lost fairly?

Trying to change the results of elections that they agreed to obey using the power of the gun is pure terrorism and attack on the state.
