    Look at how the media is still calling them protesters, when they are committing terrorism right out in the open.

    Are they really? There's something about like fireworks exploding... but no one was hurt? That's not terrorism. Neither is breaking into a government building. Calling any violence by non-state actors "terrorism" is police state language. which is usually deployed against the left.

      right and will be regardless of if we hamstring our denunciations of fascism by trying to appeal to fucking Foucault instead of the american public

        LOL what fucking Foucault? I'm talking about the definition of a regular word. The terrorist label is used and discussed all the time in mainstream spaces. Over-denouncing things turns regular people off. Calling everyone a fascist/terrorist is a terrible idea.

        And Trumpist triedhards aren't even fucking fascists. They don't have the organization or ideology. They don't deserve the ego boost of such a label, nor the media attention. Talking about them is what the libs want instead of holding the Democrats' feet to the fire. And it's what establishment conservatives want, too, because it'll help justify anti-left crackdowns.

          how bout the ones occupying the capital with support for the cops lol

          im not mad, but this is just a garbage fucking take, we should absolutely call this a right wing coup/terror attempt because it is and we can and most of america will agree

            What terror, what coup attempt?? This is a crowd entering a building. That's not terrorism, that's what we should do.

            Call on the cops to be fired for inaction in this case - great. You misuse words and they'll get screencaped and thrown back at you after the next big BLM event and "most of america" will say "yes, the left are terrorist - and hypocrites too". Consistency is a very simple thing.

                dont be afraid to take a w, not taking it will not prevent the media being turned on any left wing insurrection which is a looooong way away anyways, d electoral politics are mostly where the us left is attempting to build strength, PSL isnt gonna overthrow the gov or lead an march on DC anytime soon hate to break it to you

                  Dude - I'm not even on Twitter. And I'm not expecting an imminent left-wing insurrection. But they already treat people as insurrectionaries and I want to denounce it in a consistent manner.

                  But it's not a win to use the police state's language. That's my position and I will stand by it.
