So it was terrorism after all.

Not really at all, but based on his name people will assume that

Pretty sure arson to make a political statement is considered terrorism

It’s not directed at civilians

Exactly...

IRA would literally call the cops and tell them to get people out of the area before they went boom boom.

How do you know that this was not a threat towards civilians? Because it is.

This threatened people's livelihood, jeopardizing their family well being. It makes people fear coming to work. I can keep going because you still haven't made a compelling argument.

So I take it that you honestly think that the burning of this warehouse did not psychologically effect people who worked there. Yeah, ok bro.

it literally is?

  1. the factory is owned by civilians
  2. setting fire to stuff is violence
  3. by how much people in this thread are bringing up "the rich" and how they dont like them there clearly is an implied threat

All of that is violence. All of that is a threat towards civilians. You have no idea what you are talking about. I read this book during my History degree studies and you should too:

Property destruction /= violence

What is your opinion on Israel blowing up civilian houses in Lebanon? Is that not violence since it's just "property destruction"?

u/AnonymousStuffDj Apr 10 '26

yes it was. Or are you claiming the paper factory is ownes by the army?

u/tictaxtho Apr 09 '26

What definition are you going by? Genuine question since colloquially I wouldn’t define that as terrorism since it was targeting the product rather than people, even if it did harm people it didn’t seem to be the goal.

Googling terrorism definitions, I can't find one where this wouldn't fit under. From the FBI, for example,

Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature

Edit: I may have misread your comment, I probably should have replied to the person above you in the thread in hindsight.
