you say terrorism bad then advise terrorism lol
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world, I propose a solution to this conundrum:
I like it. Sign me up.
exactly
Terrorism and vandalism are not the same thing.
so destruction of property for the purpose of political agitation is just as chill as spray painting the side of a rusted train? wow the world has changed
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Calling the act of fighting back against corporations "terrorism" doesn't make the act itself bad or wrong, nor does it dissuade anyone from carrying it out, it's just virtue signalling to show everyone else which side of the fence you're positioning yourself on. The wrong side.
oh silly I'm from lemmygrad, I am definitely on the side of terrorism. I just want the terms defined properly, because hiding your terms and aims behind vague descriptions is ill-advised and will lead to disaster. Do not desensitize political action, realize what it is, and agree with it.
Companies ≠ Government
The government is tied to corporations. The Government exists to carry out the will of the monopolies, and reign in the populace. Throwing billions of dollars to corrupt politicians to carry out their aims does not a democracy make.
I can play this game too. Oh so murdering people for the sake of a political agenda is just as chill as damaging property?
damaging property is nothing. Especially the property of the rich use to try to delude us
humans are a different matter, but if your existence relies on the exploitation of the earth, I think they've declared war against every other person alive. Politics is a reflection of human wills and goals, not some thing you snark at from your couch scrolling tiktok. Politics is every thought and idea of change and invention. Every murder is a political murder. If it is a man who beat his wife to death that is a reinforcement of patriarchy. If a driver falls asleep at the wheel and hits a biker, that is a result of capitalist overworking and insufficient bike infrastructure.
All of this is a direct result of capitalism, which the rich enforce the corrupt and aged economy with their wealth. These passive deaths are also murder, so should we just do nothing? Just wait for the same people who've enslaved the world to free us because we asked? You have morals, they would not think twice about killing everyone you know if it meant defending their wealth. Do not allow them to have all the power because of a false morality.
Did you reply to the wrong person?
no
Would that constitute terrorism? I thought that was just limited to political goals, not consumer shit.
If yes, then terrorist that shit up!
lets fuckin goooooooooooooooooooooooo
People are saying terrorism.
This sounds more like vandalism.
There’s quite a bit of difference.
