Left-wing extremists terrorise customers at London restaurant

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives"

BLM fits the bill.

Does it now? I'm waiting for insights on that matter, other than based on Breitbart, Alex Jones or Fox. The latter poublished a doctored vid, stupidly not taking into consideration that other tv stations taped the same rally. So, don't come up with that shit. But I guess, it doesn't matter to the average Fox viewer.

I didn't see him link any of those sites.

But since you gave him kudos for what he said, here's me encouraging you to prove how they fit the bill. You obviously agree, so come on.

The largest security threat in India, according to the government, is the left wing group Naxalite, which commits pretty frequent terrorism. 13,000 people have died in their conflict, 7700 civilians. But you know, it's not in the US or Europe, so somehow it doesn't count or people aren't even aware of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naxalite%E...o_violence 

I don't know much about the Naxalite group (here's me showing my western prejudices again, I should stop waving it about in public). But when the government doing the accusing is the BJP, I'd be a lot less inclined to shout about other terrorist groups.

I'm not intimately familiar with them either, however they clearly fit the bill of a left wing terrorist group, no matter who is doing the accusing. There are lots of left wing terrorist groups in Latin America, Asia and Africa. In fact there was a car bomb set off in Chile when I was there a couple of years ago and there were wide scale left wing student riots as well, the Farc still exists in Columbia, even if they are probably not going to for much longer. The idea that there is no left wing terror is a western-centric idea.

According to abaris, the only terrorists are right-wing. Again, take BLM, the ANC, the black panthers group, the list is endless. At the end of the day, even if there was only one ever left-wing terrorist group, that is still more than zero, which is what abaris was trying to tell us.

Well, that's certainly going to trigger a few people.

Oh yeah. Next time read what I posted, will you. I said today, today as in present times. I guess you're not being 15 right now this very moment, although I'm tempted to take the cheap shot. The cars speak for themselves, since they're from the time I was speaking of when I meant that left wing terrorism was a thing - back then. The 70ies and early 80ies.

Yeah, you found an easy one. But don't be too proud of yourself, since you didn't understand the first thing of what I was saying. Thanks for making my point.

Perhaps you should read with a finer eye for detail?

Nah, that would mean that there are times that there other valid points of view than his own or, shock, horror!, his point of view could be itself invalid.
