If China has to choose between two options to vote Xi, it's a dictatorship. When I have to choose between two 99% Hitlers, that's democracy though.

If I had two options to vote for Xi then I'd have two options that don't support Israel. Whatever two names are on the US ballot next year they'll both support Israel. Checkmate America.

It's basically all bad poo poo republicans have wanted to do for a long time but now it has an official name and it would happen under Trump so that's why there's suddenly all those concerns. If Trump were for some reason unable to run in 2024, that crowd would stop worrying about it even though any republican who gets nominated would want to implement that poo poo.

my understanding is that it's a vast conspiracy of "have a plan for specific actions to take when/if we take power", which is absolutely inconceivable. Can you imagine if politicians just got to work on their stated goals after being elected?

Terrorism can (look at Shinzo Abe's assassination! Or hell, the initial American revolts), the problem being OBL was a rich bratty dandy who was an accelerationist with little goals beyond that.

people like to cite the Shinzo Abe assassination as the most successful political one of the century, but I tend to think the guy who shot Yitzhak Rabin (after being incited by Netanyahu) in order to sink the Oslo Accords is all the way up there.

political assassinations and other targeted acts can work as intended but yeah random mayhem doesn't as evidenced by 9/11 backfiring by most metrics

I agree with this post writ large; that said though IIRC the initial American revolts had a lot of civil disobedience but unless I was taught wrong as a joke the closest they came to terrorism by the current definition was harassment of government agents eg tarring and feathering magistrates or tax collectors which is definitely "targeted"

Does the Abe assassination even count as terrorism? He was a lone gunman with a very specific beef. Political violence sure, but terrorism seems like a stretch.
