Its hilarious how people will say stuff like this, and then in practically the same breath say “how can the federal government call anyone antifa terrorists?!?”

Like, youre doing the same thing that they are by watering the word “terrorist” down to a point where it somehow applies to normal people that are obviously not actual terrorists. The protesters convicted of being terrorists are obviously normal people who didnt set out to inflict violence for the purpose of terrorizing anyone. Even if they themselves were in contact with people who intended to harm others that wouldnt make them terrorists. Only actually being (or aspiring to be) a terrorist makes someone a terrorist

The same is probably true of the (likely) clipboard jockey kid youre calling a terrorist. Most people in the military work in logistics. A lot of people do a lot of nothing the majority of the time they are deployed. Many of them probably joined mostly for the benefits. The military is a fucked up institution controlled by some fucked up people, arguably terroristic for sure, but that does not make every person in the military some kind of radical terrorist individual. That same logic is exactly what the US government uses to label entire countries of people as terrorist targets…
