    My favorite part honestly is calling them terrorists. While technically true, most people don't use the label terrorist unless there is a nonviolent way to bring about change, which there literally isn't in an absolute monarchy.

      People on the lib left like to point out that white extremists are basically never labeled terrorists (which fair enough) so I think that's what she's going for here? Ultimately terrorist is a loaded term no matter what, and one that inherently exists to justify the security state (or in this case a fucking monarchy lol), so I'd rather square that circle by not calling anyone a terrorist rather than asking for white people to get sent to CIA torture sites as well.

        Yeah it's a dumb term. Terrorism is a tactic that has been used throughout history, sometimes justifiably, oftentimes not

          There’s also a huge difference between massacring random civilians and targeted insurrection towards a powerful enemy, yet both get called terrorism.
