Unfortunately? Are we really at the point of supporting terrorism of the “correct” political persuasion?

We're way past it, sadly. Luigi was insanely popular for the cold blooded murder of a CEO. Hundreds of thousands of people celebrated Charlie Kirk's murder within minutes of it happening, let alone the discourse you see now, a year later. Plenty of people, even on this forum, openly advocate for "the funniest thing" happening to Elon.

Terrorism and murder are in vogue.

There's a lot of folks out there with champagne bottles and party poppers earmarked for when it happens.

No mention of a certain president and his cultists coup-ing the government to steal an election? Definitely sounded like terrorism at the time, with clear call to eliminating a vice president and other representatives

Sounds like a great reason to oppose violent rhetoric and action before it becomes normalized.

It has been normalized over the past 10y by the sitting president

Yes. If you're exposed to one entrenched end of the spectrum or another, you might notice the rhetoric and threats have picked up quite a bit on both sides. Language and actions are becoming more divisive and more violent.

I increasingly hear insane not-in-passing phrases like "Someone should just [commit some violent act to further the speaker's political beliefs]." Lately, it's about sabotaging data centers and killing CEOs.

And it's not just talk, this stuff starts by motivating the loonier members of a group to commit acts like mass shootings, the Charlie Kirk assassination, violence against LGBTQ people and other targeted groups, and so on.

I feel like some weird outsider, sitting in center-left.

We have an 8 hour workday, and women's suffrage, thanks to "terrorism", as you call it.

What social good do you intend to secure by attacking data centers?

How exactly do you propose going about that?

Uh, no, those things did not arise out of terrorism.

Are we at the point where we allow companies to just hack other companies and do nothing about it?

Yes, money is God and companies are his saints. Keep your head down and surrender everything to them
