The Supreme Court curbed the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to broadly regulate carbon emissions from existing power plants, a major defeat for the Biden administration's attempts to slash emissions at a moment when scientists are sounding alarms about the accelerating pace of global warming.
I’m really not. Being aware of how your oppressor views the world is not the opposite of fighting oppression. It’s a necessary prerequisite. If I go to a protest in black bloc and leave my phone behind, I’m not accepting the 🐷 framing that leftist protesters are violent and therefore deserving of being tracked down and harassed via mass surveillance. I’m doing my best to protect myself from their predictable reaction to me challenging their power.
If you really wanna dig in on this, are you saying that industrial sabotage is not terrorism because it’s destruction of property rather than doing harm to people? Or are you saying that by calling sabotage terrorism I’m conflating ecological freedom fighting with Nazi mass shooters or something? Because I’m not the one doing that conflation. The US government is.
:astronaut-1:
Destruction of corporate property isn't terrorism though.
I have a material interest in anticipating what the US government will interpret as such
You shouldn't accept and use their framing any more than you do the framing of forced birth activists.
Rejecting the judges definition of violence as they throw me into the despair pit
I do not recognize the authority of a court that hangs the gold fringed flag
I'm not driving I'm travelling!
I’m not accepting and using their framing by anticipating what will and won’t get me kidnapped and caged by pigs
You are though. Nobody is saying sabotaging industry isn't highly illegal, only that you shouldn't further the conflation of that with terrorism.

:shrug-outta-hecks: As long as you understand it'll be labeled terrorism on every tv in the country
And we should be pushing back on that
Sounds like a job for a nationally organized communist party
Both of these things are true
