      "Terrorist attack" + calls to "do something" = curtailment of civil liberties. It's the same pattern every single time

      Because I decline to use the terminology that always results in civil liberties violations, regardless of the ideology of the perpetrator.

          So what word or words would you say is accurate in describing a white nationalist murdering 20 people to advance a nativist political agenda?

          It's an act of political violence. It's not necessary to invoke the specter of "terrorism" given how loaded that term is, and how it virtually always results in the enactment of wrongheaded policy.

          Note how legislation that might inch the US toward the sort of sensible gun control laws of the rest of the world -- such as a ban on assault weapons in civilian hands -- becomes a "civil liberties violation."

          A wind adrift Retweeted Michael Tracey

          Then why use White Nationalists in quotes and Islamists not in quotes:https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1120465964246736896?s=20 …

          Islamists killed hundreds in Sri Lanka in shocking fashion. I don't think this means we should exaggerate the threat of Islamists in the US. But I note how eagerly US left/liberals latch onto any isolated incident of "white nationalist" violence abroad, yet largely ignore this

          You always manage to find a way to protect right-wing ideology.
