    first they made terrorism the biggest problem in the world, declared war on it, made tons of draconian laws against it… and then they changed what the word means.
    btw, check out the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, which makes it “terrorism” to work at a job with livestock and then secretly film the abuse other people do to them.
    in some states, that is “legally” terrorism.
    (its illegally, but good luck appealing that when you’re in a guantanamo style blacksite somewhere, being force fed rectally)

      I’d call it Orwellian, but that’s more fucked up than anything Orwell ever imagined! 🤬
