I’m sympathetic to both sides of this claim. I was initially on your side, Ice, but by many standard definitions it seems plausible that at least certain types of police brutality can be legitimately considered terrorism; or that defenders of the country can also be terroristspic.twitter.com/f5vE8l5Frm

I am currently agnostic. I find it counterintuitive to call state actions, especially within their borders, terrorism, but it doesn’t seem incoherent by some definitions to consider things like the Fred Hampton Raid, Waco, or Ruby Ridge to be terrorism

That is a ridiculous definition and you should question the entity from which you obtained it. It could apply to mere wars.

terror is an aspect of war. Phobos is Mars' larger moon.

Granted, but we already have other words for that. Diluting this one to make it fit your narrative merely deprives us of specificity.

Definitions are the foundation of any informative debate. Shoddy foundations result in shoddy discussions.
