An abortion clinic, a black church, a mosque -- how can they be attacked by terror if they are already afraid?

@sarahjeong there’s an argument that terrorism is about asymmetry in one direction — small less powerful force attacking a more powerful one -
@sarahjeong if your goal is to terrorize the less powerful to reinforce something that’s already in power, like the Klan did, like kings did -
@sarahjeong it may not be terrorism in that sense. It is shock and awe. -
@sarahjeong it can only be terrorism if the attack is seen as an attack on all of us — not on muslims, not on women seeking an abortion -
@sarahjeong in this sense the resistance to labeling it terrorism directly corresponds with yr willingness to distance yourself from victims
