      No. Terrorism is when you destabilise the feeling of safety somewhere by attacking civilians

        people are responsible for their own emotions. the only reasonable definition of terrorism is activity that the existing political status quo does not approve. that’s it. it doesn’t need to attack someone. it doesn’t need to be violent. the Boston tea party was terrorism as surely as the assassination of the arch duke.

          But it’s not the definition. It’s when you destabilise using fear of death and attack violently civilians to create that fear

          Only in usa you make terrorism mean “enemy”
