“Terrorism is an insidious descriptor… denoted by the use of extreme police powers, long prison sentences, isolation, medical neglect, and of course overseas bombing campaigns and gun-running” and which has “always been used by the ruling classes to designate threats to the status quo, and in doing so intimidate them into silence.”

Obviously…

That’s why citizens everywhere need to rise up against it together rather than everyone demanding everyone else join their personal crusade.

Making it any deeper than:

Everyone deserves rights, even “terrorists” because the government chooses who is a terrorist

Just makes it easier for the oligarchs to split the movement.

If people don’t unite, the governments will keep picking off demographics one by one.

This isn’t new
