MODERATORS
Activists don't need the personal information of people they disagree with. Terrorists do, charge them accordingly.
Terrorist-a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aim
Hmmm.... that DOES sound a bit familiar...
Terrorism needs target to be an indefinite number of persons.
If target is one particular person, this is regular crime.
EDIT: or persons. Serial killers are serial killers, not terrorists.
How many trans people were targeted?
Post says 1.
No it doesn’t. But it’s worded in a way that speakers of certain articledeprived languages would have trouble understanding it.
Speak for yourself. If you believe that intelligence work is beneath you, the other side has already won.
That is not what they're saying. They are saying that there's only one reason anyone would need the name and address of trans children and that is to terrorize them. Even if they say they have a different reason (history shows that they don't) the one only effect that they could and would have is terror.
This is what they said:
This is not a case of somebody saying something smart but just wording it terribly. It's no different than idots who spout "only cowards wear masks!" It's something only somebody that has no familiarity with actual activism - ie, no familiarity with the actual stakes and risks involved in real activism work - would say.
What you are alluding to is no longer activism and should be called what it is, terrorism. You are reframing the issue much as a neo Nazi might.
The libs on here are really good at demonstrating that they know absolutely nothing about activism in any shape, way or form whatsoever - but are still willing to feign expertise on the matter.
I guess heckling antifa from the sidelines back in 2016 gave you lots of practice in that, eh?
