George Washington used violence to advance his political agenda of a sovereign USA. Was George a terrorist?
It's not terrorism if you win.
History is written by the victors.
Then we'll just have to win.
God damn put that exchange on a t-shirt
Yes, why would you think he wasn’t?
Because we often only phrase things as terrorism when it's "bad"
Exactly. The baddies are called 'terrorists'. The term the media uses to describe good terrorists is 'rebels' and sometimes 'freedom fighters'.
Yes, he was a good terrorist. He wasn't captured by the enemy.
Luigi was pretty dumb wearing that creepy outfit at a McD. He was captured. Regardless of how you feel about him, being captured was a major failure.
Yeah, Luigi fucked up so bad that he wasn't even the shooter and he still got caught /irony
If he used violence against noncombatants.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were terror attacks though.
Oh, well then Muad'dib isn't a terrorist because he only killed a mass murderer. Military brass are considered combatants, and Brian ordered thousands to their deaths.
The US generally holds that only foreign individuals and organisations can be terrorists. So if Luigi can be charged with terrorism, so can the KKK.
4th of July is a national celebration of terrorism.
