but the point is that terrorism doesn't have to be carried out by a whole big giant group.
but yes. every single time you put on a uniform and go out to fight someone else, you have become a terrorist. don't you think their purpose is to defend something about themselves?
terrorism is not a distinctive idea. it really isn't. and naming it unlawful and not various other things requires serious mental gymnastics. if you're not comfortable with that, i'm sorry. the united states government has been a terrorist organization since before it started. our nation was founded on terrorism and continued it as a policy to the present day. we do what we want and we make sure we get a say in who gets in our way. the "evil" negative associations are merely cultural. we think they're evil because they do bad things to us. do you know how many people died for your cell phone?
