This Thread is prompted by AJ and MB disagreeing on what it is.
“terrorism/ˈterəˌrizəm/Terrorism is the unlawful use or threat of violence against people or property to create fear and force a government or group to change its policies. (Webster).
Try this: Let’s say MB and I live on Maple Street, and MB goes down to the City Hall and convinces the mayor to have everyone on Maple Street pay the tuition loans of all families on Maple Street, I have 1 student, he has 6.
The Mayor controls the police department. The police are charged with collecting the money, going door-to-door (ie, force). They come to my door to collect money. I do not want to give the city government my money.. This action of taking my money is solely dictated by the Mayor
His actions fit the def of a terrorist, see above.
Is he a terrorist? How not??

@AverageJoe1 saidFor a practical illustration of what a terrorist looks like, check Mamdani and AOC at the Twin Towers memorial. Apparently they found it funny. Terrorist show a lack of patriotism, and this manifests itself in many ways, and these people should be removed from your country.

@AverageJoe1 saidIt doesn't fit any of your definition; it's not unlawful nor is it forcing a government or group to change its policies. Of course, that's assuming the Mayor has the legal power to impose such taxes and this isn't a ridiculous, impossible hypothetical.

We've done about a million "taxes are theft" BS threads here; this is just a variation of that same, tired theme.
@Rajk999 saidAt their convention, you can easily find a YouTube where one of those skinny women with skinny glasses and black T shirt refers to the various principals on stage as comrade.

Asthma, router if he finds no problem with people there being called comrades, does he think it fits their movement?
I would ask him, but when I ask him a question, he only answers with links, which I think that other people produce. I am never interested in his damn links.

Liu Lijun came here on a visa, used a UCLA quad to organize for Hamas, and just lost the visa. That is the correct order. A Chinese national is not owed an American classroom from which to run cover for a terror movement. Guest status ends when the guest picks a war against this country’s allies and its Jews. 🇺🇸
Marco Rubio is treating student visas as what they are: revocable. The last crowd treated them as tenure. Encampments, building takeovers, and foreign organizers were allowed to harden into a scene. Revocation is how you un-harden it. One name on a cancellation list is a message to the next organizer still holding a passport stamp.
Foreign students who want a degree can follow the rules. Foreign students who want a jihad franchise can do it somewhere that asked for them. UCLA is not a consulate for Hamas. The United States is not a dormitory for people who hate the host. Pull the paper. Book the flight. The rally was the application to leave.

"To set the record straight, I was an undergraduate student born and raised in the United States. You’d also be hard-pressed to find any links to the CCP since I, embarrassingly, can barely speak Chinese. "

Nothing sus about that statement at all
@no1marauder saidSee how Marauder dances. He says ‘what if mayor doesn’t have the power’??? If my premise is saying he has the power, which it is F’n saying, then by god answer the query as it is written. He does have power. Like Biden had the power. Follow?

Jesus, you think your flowerdy wordings disguise the fact that you are a loser at debate.
Answer as written? The law says hand over the money, legally, I say I don’t want to. Jesus.
@AverageJoe1 saidThen read your own definition, stupid:

"Terrorism is the unlawful use or threat of violence"
Question answered.
@no1marauder saidYou may think ‘comrade’ is a good idea, but I find it a strange choice for an American political convention. ‘Comrade’ has a very strong historical association with communist parties, while the theDemocratic Party is part of the American constitutional system. If you like the word, tell me what you think it conveys that ‘fellow Americans,’ ‘friends,’ or ‘felllow Democrats’ doesn’t. C’mon.
I think calling people "comrades" was a great idea.
As an American, I find it rather odd to embrace a term historically associated with communist political movements and then tell me there’s nothing noteworthy about using it. I’m not saying that makes someone a communist. I’m asking why you think it’s a particularly good term for an American political convention. Can’t you write an honest non-cute answer just once? You hiding? Why choose the loaded word ‘comrade’ when there are dozens of ordinary American words that mean essentially the same thing?
The Communist Party USA does routinely use “comrade” as a form of address, including in its national-convention materials. So, why fo you like the term without claiming that Democrats who use it are therefore commmubists? Start your dance, comrade.
@no1marauder saidYou are conflicted. You say The Mayor does NOT have the power, but yet you said months ago many times that Biden DID have the power to pay off tuition loans? Do you remember, it was when you were saying that it would not cost the US government one penny to pay off the tuition loans., Which was a lie. You in another corner now?

AJ: The law says hand over the money, legally,
If it's legal it can't be "terrorism" by your own definition.
And, as usual, you're lying about my position on something even while you try to change the subject in your own moronic thread.
