That's the way it's been used in the US since 9/11/2001. Not sure about other places.

AppleTea@lemmy.zip · 10 pts · 325d (1 reply)

Brits have been using it that way for centuries. Go dig through papers from the 1800s, you'll find them describing anyone resisting their colonialism as "terrorists". Legally, the US is working from the exact same definition that British common law uses.

Roidecoeur@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 325d

That makes sense, since, as far as i can tell, the U.S. seems to be a modern hybrid of the British empire which spawned it and the German war machine it assimilated into itself about 80 years ago.

scarabic@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 325d

When I was young, an age ago, the word terrorist had a specific meaning, which was someone committing shocking acts to strike fear and hysteria into the general public and thereby influence society and policy.

Then 9/11 happened and although the 19 attackers were most definitely terrorists by the old definition, somehow the definition drifted until it meant “inhuman opponent against whom we are justified to suspend the rules and respond in any way we want to.”

Ironically, this usage itself is designed to inspire fear and keep people from looking too closely at what’s happening. “Oh no! Terrorists! Fine! Just kill them! Keep us safe!” Using people’s fear to justify whatever our military and government want to do comes ominously close to the old definition of terrorism.

I could not fucking believe what I was seeing, some months back, when somebody posted either a link to, or a green text clip talking about a tiktok video where...

... Some young adult, thought it would be cool to 'pretend' (?) to off himself by holding a loaded gun to his head and pull the trigger.

A semi auto pistol.

This guy... not only did he not even check to make sure there was no rounds in the magazine, muchless drop out or empty the mag, he didn't check to make sure no round in the chamber...

He manually flipped the safety off before doing this.

Yeah, he died, in the middle of an otherwise bragadocious display of being hard and not giving a fuck.

.... The whole thing was so stupid and absurd that I still cannot actually tell whether or not he intentionally, or accidentally, offed himself.

its actually pretty bad now, posts from r/teacher piqued my interest. and its mostly the teacher saying students are reading at a 1-6 grade level in HS, reading comprehension is very kindergarden at their age, plus writing paragraphs and essays, forget it. also writing, pronouncing is another matter. Math is also pretty poor in these students too.(COVID did kinda make it worst). grammar and paper writing is way above thier "knowledge"

Given that their distractions have increasingly become as destructive if not even moreso than the thing they're distracting from, it's possible.

More likely that's it's just culture war bombast designed to reinforce the whole "everyone except us are evil and dangerous" groupthink that they're using for cohesion, though, IMO.

I remember growing up that everyone knew what Marxism is and had a thoroughly developed class consciousness. Everyone was capable of developing a critique of capital. He might be onto something. It explains why America has such strong labor, free universal healthcare, and no bourgeoisie.

Reminder that Bannon plead guilty for fraud because he created a fake "build the wall group" that asked for donations to build a racist wall. Bannon instead pocketed the money using it to live in lavish luxury.

Tbf, schools are sort of indoctrination camps.

That said, getting rid of school so that kids would end up learning 0%, instead of the currently 50% useful stuff* isn't exactly gonna solve problems.

(*since the other 50% is indoctrination)

The far right doesn't really want to get rid of school, they just want to control more of it so that instead of the 50% center-right indoctrination, it'd become 100% far right nationalist indoctrination with their agenda instead.
