>Neither you nor trump nor musk will ever convince me that vandalism is terrorism.

I guess technically I havent seen trump nor musk say this. It was the FBI who labelled it such.

Domestic terrorism to me is ideologically or in this case politically motivated violence with an intent to influence or coerce the victims into changing something they dont want to change.

That's totally what's happening here.

The FBI, headed by Kash Patel? The FBI, an organization recently purged of people deemed disloyal to Trump? That FBI? Forgive me if I don't see a difference between the FBI labeling it terrorism and Trump/Musk doing it, its all the same thing. Vandalism is not Terrorism, however, repeatedly calling vandalism terrorism as a justification to allow black bagging or deportation (without typical due process) of someone who spray painted some cars sounds a lot like fascistic propaganda to me.

When I was twelve I got caught tagging an abandoned building, I was prosecuted for this and had to pay a fine and attend diversion. Sounds like you think a more appropriate punishment would have been for me to be branded as a terrorist and shipped out of country.

Vandalism is violence?

You won't convince me of that, either.

Property is people too.

That's very funny
