Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That word has lost all meaning in common usage.
It never had any, and I mean literally never, neither in common usage nor in military usage. It has always been code for whoever the imperial core doesn't like and isn't a pre-existent government (in which case they become a state sponsor of terrorism).
How would you classify Timothy McVey? This isn't a loaded question, as I largely agree with you.
How do we classify wanton killing of innocent people? Lockerbie bombings come to mind.
Mass murderer?
I mean just call it what it is. Politically motivated bombing, mass shooting, etc. Basically what the media already does when it's a white person doing these things.
Blowing up a daycare is pretty much never the answer.
That's a lot of words for missing he fucking killed children. But yunxiaoli endorses! Gotcha.
Wow
I never said I agreed with his ideology. However blowing up federal buildings in an oppressive society is always morally justified. Means isn't motive. The motive is awful, the means is just fine.
Also no one cares about liberal threats, you guys give power to fascists ever chance you get because you can't stand to kill the undesirables you hate by yourself.
You realize the federal building he blew up was a hospital, right? You can visit it and listen to the recordings of the children who died.
..no, it just wasn't. That's entirely a lie. Having a va office does not make a building a hospital. And yes, oppressors usually use the cries of children to justify their fascism after the fact.
Again I don't support his ideology, you can see that from my comment history, but you people are the reason trump is installing fascism in the us nearly entirely unopposed.
My dude I've been there. I'm from there. That was a lot of hospital beds for a non-hospital.
That's nice, except that's in absolutely no documentation from the era, not one news story, not one documentary mentions it.
It does have a useful definition I think in "a non-state actor using violence to serve some political goal", as that at least lets one categorize a murderer who just hated that specific guy as having something different going on with them compared to a murderer who wants their act to shock a nation into taking some action. It's commonly misused as "someone using violence that we don't like", but there is still some utility in understanding a person's motive for doing something.
This is the part that faaaaaaaar too open to interpretation.
That's the secondmost problematic part.
Especially not after the AUMF
This is what keeping Bush-era laws intact results in.
