    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.

        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.

              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.
