Something which never sinks in with liberals (because it might bust their brains, I dunno) is "terrorist" just means "doesn't align with state interests." I would also add "and usually non-state actors" but Bibi has been calling Iran a "terror state" so I guess we're scrapping the state actor part and just going with "they do things opposed to us dominating everything- that's terrorism!" 2003 all over again.
I have noticed libs jumping over "unpatriotic" as was the claim in 2003ish towards anti war protesters and landing directly on calling them pro-Hamas and pro-terrorist which is just a zero-mask call for state violence on protestors (and they got their wish). I don't think the more soft-hearted, mostly "well-meaning" liberals have let it sink in yet that if you call someone terrorist you aren't only being hyperbolic and stupid, you are saying "this person is an enemy of the state and appropriate force must be used to eliminate them... immediately." That's just what it means, I'm sorry. They are quite literally saying "kill this guy!" Why? "For being an anti-genocide terrorist!"
Totally agree with you. I used the word "terrorist" in this meme to highlight the double standards that the US liberals have.
For example, Alexander Alazo Baró was acquitted of the four charges against him, as a result of the attack perpetrated by him against the Cuban Embassy in the United States in the early hours of April 30, 2020. Despite the arrest of this scum, the United States only charged him with federal charges, but no Terrorism charge was made which is the classification that fits the fact. As you said, they weaponize this word to properly dehumanize and create a justification for violence against the people that the word terrorist is targeted upon.
"After four years of the events and in a criminal proceeding full of opacity, the judge welcomed a joint report from the Prosecutor’s Office and the defense of the terrorist Alexander Alazo Baró, who presents the perpetrator as someone who, at the time of the events, was not in possession of his mental faculties and, therefore, declares him innocent", declared the MINREX.
In the case of this criminal, the USA easily discarded the case as a lone wolf with mental issues which is a typical common thing to do when they have right wing extremists shootings. It is still crazy to me that the USA is showing us that the rules that they set don't apply to them.
