Do you think the COVID-19 pandemic and George Floyd protests could give rise to terrorism?

Did you drop out of school before graduation or did you attend a church-based school? Whichever is the case, you obviously failed English class.

Nice deflection. Now prostrate before BLM.

Some define terrorism as coming from a source outside of America.

But I think terrorism can rightly be defined with a domestic source.

The Googled Dictionary definition of terrorism is "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims".

Though the COVID-19 handling and anti-mask, anti-shutdown protests aren't likely to cause any terrorism, even if Biden wins and he somehow oversteps and shuts down the entire American economy, I don't think that would create terrorism, but it may create a revolt, but a revolt doesn't qualify as terrorism, as shutting down the entire economy indefinitely is unconstitutional and the Second Amendment gives us the right to arm against the government in such violation. There would be no intimidation there, and not against civilians at all, but against an over-reaching Constitution-violating government.

And so far the COVID-19 handling and anti-mask, anti-shutdown protests have been nearly all peaceable assemblies, completely without targeting of civilians, and without the use of intimidation or violence.

But Marxist BLM riots already fit the description of organized crime (in our streets) and domestic terrorism (in our cities).

This form of BLM's domestic terrorism began by saying "systemic racism" is a "10" on a 1-10 scale when it's really not even close to that, more like a "1" if anything. Then after working up easy-to-seduce Gen. Zers for a few years via BLM's "cancel culture" they had primed them and their falsely "White guilted" parents to receive the false message that George Floyd's death was a racist action, which, of course, there's no evidence for, and then continue with the false message that "police target Black people" which, again, statistics show simply isn't true.

By ramping up easy-to-seduce people with false messages they knew these emotionally ramped up people would never fact-check with reason, they then, in typical terrorist cult fashion, compelled them to commit bullying, rioting, looting, assaulting and murder in our cities streets, in true terrorist fashion.

For clearly Marxist BLM is already employing for the past three months, "unlawful intimidation" in their mob bullying and rioting in our cities' streets, "unlawful violence" in their looting, assaulting, and murdering in our cities' streets, especially "against civilians" whose businesses they looted and burned and owners and defenders they assaulted and murdered, and definitely "in the pursuit of political aims" as Marxist BLM has made it crystal clear that they want to destabilize the U.S. government, hoping in the chaos they can make political inroads for their extremist Marxist agenda.

Beyond any rational conjecture, Marxist BLM is already a terrorist group and has been that for some time with their political-based intimidation of civilians via their "cancel culture" at universities and institutions, in the form of mob fiat false declarations of "racism" or the ludicrous "microaggressions" against targeted civilians to "cancel" them out of their jobs and careers.

It is crystal clear that BLM qualifies as a terrorist organization.

Trump Admits to Defunding USPS to Stop Mail-In Votes | NowThis - YouTube

So right there, in his own words, Trump admits that he will try to stop the function of the Constitutionally protected USPS from functioning properly to insure that the American people can vote, and have it counted. If you think that is not an attempt to destroy democracy, you can't be helped.

Functioning properly?

Are you asserting that maintaining services and functions that are no longer needed or used is functioning properly?

What's wrong with you guys?

Question: Has the level of staffing and expense changed at all from the day of its founding to today? How about equipment? How about every damn thing about it?

The USPS has been functioning 'properly' despite GOPer efforts to shut it down for many years

Who says the USPS is no longer needed?

What's wrong with you guys?

"Has the level of staffing and expense changed at all from the day of its founding to today?" Seriously? Has the population, economy and infrastructure of the US changed since the 18th century?

Where'd ya go code?
Can't support your delusion?

Sorry for the delay. I have a life outside this forum. Not much of one, but that's the lot of a retired guy who putters around at home, talks to neighbors and has a wife and dogs.

I know you have an aversion to facts, but you might want to check some out.

The USPS has some old equipment. That is one of the various scape goats for the lack of efficiency. However, they also have a rapidly dropping level of letters to sort and deliver.

Letter processing is what we are worried about as the Democrat-Socialists are trying to rig another election.

All of the staffing and asset costs are up across the last 5 years. More people, more buildings and more vehicles.

All of the services rendered and items processed counts are down. In the case of single item first class letters, down by about 25%

Long story short, the USPS is doing less, in some cases, far less but using more and more people, vehicles and buildings to do it.

This is the sort of insanity that ONLY happens in Government run fiascoes like this one.

As usual, the Democrat-Socialists see the problem and are working to make it worse.

Most weekends Chicago kills blacks in great numbers. One city , one weekend.

I'm more than a little distressed by the propagandistic approach used by our media to create a narrative that is inflaming the less intelligent in our larger cities.

Deliberately avoiding real world statistics to create and maintain a lie is what the media is doing.

One question, it seems like the most important question is, "Why?".

YOU are the one who appears to have an "aversion to facts" Did you bother to read the page you linked to?

 

[bluesmoke]

From what propaganda source are you drawing your "facts"?

I can't produce any propaganda source as you ask. But I do have evidence of fact:

Anti-fascists linked to zero murders in the US in 25 years:
Anti-fascists linked to zero murders in the US in 25 years | US news | The Guardian

In the last 10 yrs, right-wing extremists accounted for 76% of all deaths by terrorism in the US:

Oh, so violence is ok as long as no one dies? :lamo

Is that your standard now?

No. I've already posted that any violence should be prosecuted as the law sees fit.

Is it only LW violence you're against? Do you have evidence to support that only LWrs are "burning Seattle, Portland, Chicago and New York City"? Maybe if Trump doesn't fire the IG investigating Seattle and Portland, we might find out more of the RW at the protests like the following:

But, I'm only citing evidence rather than just unsupported RW blather.

Now, you're trying to lie and blame the violence on Right wingers...lol

No. You are blaming the LW for violence w/o any evidence. I'm providing proof of RW violence. If you can't refute, nor provide evidence of what you say greater than that in evidence of the RW, it is your claim that is unfounded and need not be debated further for your lack of proof that is your burden as the claim-maker. Your solid string of losing the debate point continues. See you on another thread.

You haven't provided ****. You're just whatapouting to try and justify your side's violence.
