More people need to realise that terrorism is a bullshit concept. The definitions are usually constructed to privilege states
Like the UN definition of: "Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes". Police use of tear gas is clearly intended to provoke fear, so it's OK because it's endorsed by the state
The FBI: "Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals". If you're forcefully evicted to make space for a mine it ok because the state says its OK, but if the local community forcefully evicts the mine?
Terrorism is just political violence that the state commenting on it doesn't like. It's no different from any other political violence.
