    This is a great post and thanks for sharing.

    All I'd add is that part of the reason that basically open calls for terrorism in the US are more accepted is simply that materially acts of terrorism are the norm in the US: mass shootings, clinic bombings, militia standoffs etc. There's a peverse level of normalisation there. Then throw in the fact that it's a culture based on mythical revolutionary narrative - tree of liberty refreshed with blood etc etc - as opposed to countries like the UK where the central narrative is that we are the dominant culture and terrorism is something done to us by 'bad people'.
