        “Terrorists” is such an interesting word.

        As in - invading Iraq wasn’t terrorist apparently. 15 years ago from the news it seemed to have produced a backlog of war crimes to be investigated for like half a century (maybe exaggerating), but in fact the investigations stopped as soon as public attention got saturated.

        I’ve heard the Artsakh Defense Army being called “bandits” and “terrorists”, and they are all my brothers (if they want that).

        Still, to those “terrorist” bros who really use it I’d advise to move asap to something which is not snake oil. Again, Signal, or DeltaChat, or whatever else they find, just should do some research.

          I was talking about drug cartels, Neo-Nazis, and Islamic extremists, not your “bros”.

              Yeah it always strikes me how religious extremism is framed. You rarely hear about christian extremists, who operate in the open on all social networks.

              Yet, you could argue that Christian extremists have done more harm to western societies in the last 20 years than any Islamic group.
