  • You make some good points.

    Back in the late 2000 or early 2010, there was a spate of, let’s say, aggressive vandalism directed at abortion clinics. I cannot help but think that, even though no person was hurt, that it must have been pretty scary for both the employees, and the patients. But would you argue that it’s not terrorism? I’d argue it was. It was a direct effort to use force, I would say violence, in order to cause a political change in practice, if not in fact.


  • Falsehoods? Like equating municipally owned water towers and privately owned charging stations?

    No falsehoods like “property damage isn’t violence against civilians,” when we both know perfectly well it can be.

    “False equivalency” seems to be another way of saying that you can’t defend your position without illustrating that you define “violence against civilians” based on how much you like the civilians in question.
