      I think that’s a pretty narrow definition of terrorist. My mind went to the beliefs he preaches.

        What, no, using violence is like the only qualifier to “terrorism” that everyone agrees on.

        Now, we can - and should - discuss what violence means and the forms it takes in society. But actual physical violence is pretty universally agreed to be the key qualifier for a terrorist.

            Intentionally damaging property is considered violence, yes. (Don’t mistake this as some sort of pro-Musk statement.)

                Never said that. 🙄 Don’t put words in my mouth. I quite literally said don’t mistake it as pro-Musk and here you are doing that. Obviously there is a difference between domestic violence against a spouse and violence against oppressors, don’t you agree? Violence is not inherently negative.

                    I’m saying intentional property damage is violence. I did not say defacing Teslas is terrorism. All terrorism involves violence. Not all violence is terrorism.
