    Just European governments committing actual terrorism. Nothing to see here, move along please. (This is just the shit we learn about and I wished everyone who ever participates in any such scheme died an agonizing immediate death before they can execute it)

      Why specify actual in such a way? Did those Greenpeace people get accused of terrorism?

        Only all the time. The press even coined the term ecoterrorism.

          That’s interesting. I would’ve thought labeling stuff as terrorism was a newer thing, maybe early 2000s thing.

        while you got an answer related to Greenpeace from another poster, I was referring to the 1984-like fearmongering of western governments about vague threats of terrorism.
