    Here's how you know this is meant for an audience ignorant of history and geopolitical realities: they put ISIS on the same side as Syria, Iraq and Iran. Anyone who knows anything knows that ISIS is on the US' side, Jake Sullivan admitted as much in an email to Hillary Clinton, we have proof of that thanks to WikiLeaks. Syria fought a war against the US' terrorist proxies, and they are still fighting them now.

    Let's not even comment about how Ukraine is so democratic that the cokehead of Kiev cancelled the elections, or how one of the flags on their side belongs to a literal apartheid regime, or how India is only "democratic" when it suits the West, but when it starts behaving too independently then suddenly they wake up to the fact that Modi is kind of a fascist, or how Turkey is still a member of NATO - what happened guys, i thought NATO was an "alliance of democracies"?

        Terrorism is when you refuse to be a puppet of the U.S. empire, and the more you fight back against the U.S. empire, the terroristier it is. - Carl "no excuses" Marks or somthing

        Seriously though, I have yet to see a definition of the word that doesn't apply to the empire and its running dogs many times more than it applies to whoever they throw it against. They way they use it, it has lost all meaning, if it ever had one.

        It really is just liberal brainworms + us-foreign-policy .

          Look at that beautiful candy on wikipedia:

          "By whom" and "Citation needed" right from the start, and all those definitions are still correct for west more than for anyone else. Especially point 4 is noteworthy because sanctions.

          The definition I learned in my Political Science class (yes, I know it’s a lib institution) described terrorism as being violence targeted at civilians rather than military and the government, which literally applies to the empire as a whole 😭 and yet its consistently never used in that way.

    Consider this, even if war is a game: football is Polish national sport, but we are absolutely fuckhorrible in it. Once we even tied with San Marino, which national team is 90% made of amateurs. You don't want Poland in your team in football.

      Hey wait, we should do that with all the countries. The U.S. can be the Democrats, Germany can be the Social Democrats, Israel can be Likud, etc.
