"America was founded by terrorists for terrorists."
Say what you will about the latter half of that, but it's undeniable the founders were terrorists by definition. Violence and asymmetrical warfare???
"the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."
They overthrew an empire because taxes. Fuck. Everyone even in the civil war was a terrorist by that definition. You ready for the next part- anyone with an office and an army behind them a is terrorist. 1776 or 2021.
We've gotten a little off our rocker here boys. You realize how terrorist and patriot are the same thing just depends on who is in power at the time and who the opfor is.Germans in WWII believed they were patriots.
Divide and rule is not a new strategy my dudes.
TL:DR- everyone sucks and is a piece of shit. Also birds aren't real
The problem with terrorism is, as you say, how loosely it's defined. When common people hear the word terrorist, they imagine people indiscriminately attacking innocent and unrelated civilians - or attacking parts of government that have legitimacy by public approval. ANTIFA fits that definition perfectly, yet the establishment claims they don't exist, because they don't have an official board of director or some shit.
Meanwhile, no common citizen would call people terrorists who conduct TARGETED attacks against parts of system that do not have public approval. Yet that's exactly how governments use the term: "Enemies of the state".
So the term is entirely biased towards government interests - not public interests. It's exactly the same as with the concept of treason: Treason against the government exists in law, but treason against the public/nation has no legal representation. Many of our concepts are straight up out of feudalism - not a nation that bases power on the people. The concepts of terrorism and treason are just two of those stonage-relics.
