I get frustrated by average things, like the kids not closing cupboard doors or leaving their stuff everywhere. I have yet to run over anyone due to these average frustrations.
The person at the UAW picket was not dealing with average frustrations, they were a terrorist.
I dunno, the OED definition is: “a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.” The Unlawful violence was the act of running people over, they’re car factory workers, so non military, ergo civilians, and they did it to against people expressing their opinion, which could be argued to be political as it regards the politics of CEOs compensation and the growing inequality of the world.
Can’t touch grass, too busy breaking down doors and bear spraying cops at my peaceful protest over election integrity concerns. Maybe next week after I’m done trying to kidnap the governor of Michigan, but it might conflict with Yet Another Lone Wolf Mass Shooting so I can’t commit to anything.
After all, like conservatives loudly and proudly said at CPAC, “We are all domestic terrorists.”
Stochastic terrorism is the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.[1] Dehumanizing a targeted group or individual in a way that could incite violence[2] may also provide plausible deniability for the instigator.[3] Since 2018, it has been used to analyze possible inspirations of lone wolf attacks.[4] Sociologist Ramón Spaaij worries the increasing prevalence of this type of rhetoric in the discourse will lead to more political violence.[5]

Terrorist? Really? That word has just lost all meaning huh

So yeah, terrorist.
He’s talking about the secret meaning where conservative politics aren’t politics so conservative terrorists can’t be terrorists.

Jesus Christ. I often wonder why I’m still on Lemmy when I hear nonsense like this.
It’s not an airport, you don’t need to announce your departure
They’re just kids. Kids are stupid sometimes.

Which is not even close to “one driver was incredibly frustrated at the people blocking him from going home”
