@mehdi_benadel is a pub fight terrorism?
@selzero all, as terrorism means non-legitimate violence (eg. any violence not done by the state)
@mehdi_benadel I think you have to work on this definition 🤣
@selzero If considered violent enough to be mentioned by media and politicians
@mehdi_benadel dude if someone punches someone in The Nags Head and the Hull Weekly Observer prints in a corner "Giles wot works in Primark punched Keith from the Computer Exchange last night" that is not terrorism is it.
Refine your definition.
@selzero I think you lived under a form of authoritarianism for too long
@selzero isn’t the strict definition of terrorism “violence or the threat of violence with political objectives”? So it all depends _why_ things are done. With that definition, targeting Teslas probably is terrorism.
(Sorry to be the reply guy. 🫣)
@KimSJ that's fine it's not a gotcha question. It's more to point out that terrorism means different things to different people. I think they are all a form of terrorism.
