  • OK, I think maybe you should take some time before you respond.

    I never claimed to be a victim.

    OK.

    You might read the order of comments here and notice that people are attacking me…

    What do we call someone who is the subject of an attack?

    I think you’ve got to just give up arguing this. You made a mistake, which is fine if we own up to it and don’t repeat it. In the future, don’t dismiss protests because of perceived damage that you don’t actually have any knowledge of. You aren’t going to win the argument here, which shouldn’t be your goal, but you can prevent yourself from making the same mistake in the future.





  • I agree with both of you. They were terrorists by the definition we typically use. However, that word was created by the ruling class to easily turn people against a perceived threat. They usually use the same tools as the state. Why don’t states get called terrorists when using fear and force for political gain? The word terrorism is not useful. It is another tool of the ruling class to control things.

    I can see the argument of using the word and saying that it can be good. That what DS9 did. I would prefer the word to stop being used. I think it’s best at the moment to use the word, say it can be good, and then also say why the word is a tool of control and should be abandoned.
