  • “Ideological” pretty much covers everything else. A threat to kill is an act of terrorism.

    I think what’s happening here, is that murder has become so normalized that we have reached a point where the word “terrorism” has to have some special definition that excludes it from the regular run-of-the-mill terror one would experience when they’re life is threatened for whatever reason.

    I mean, would you feel terror if someone threatened your life in a way that you truly believed you were in danger?

    Oh, and she sung a song in Spanish, and was threatened with death for not singing in American English. That screams political to me…


  • Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.”

    So… no, I think I got it right. I mean, its root is from the Latin word- “terror”. A threat of death is sure to cause such a feeling in most people. So- in this form, the threat illustrates the act of one person terrorizing another. Therefore- one who terrorizes is a terrorist by definition.

    This is not a stretch to arrive at this conclusion. That it sounds foreign might be a result of the normalization of violence.
