    Well, look at that. We finally found what is needed to have a white “terrorist” instead of “someone with issues”: just target ultra rich people.

      I think the difference in nomenclature may be down to how close the actions are to affecting real change.

        Nah. Terrorism is a term exclusively reserved in the West for when rich people suffer consequences at the hands of those significantly poorer than them.

        It is a completely valid, justifiable, and effective form of asymmetric warfare.

        The ruling class wants to create the narrative that the only people who are allowed to fight back are those who spend lots of money, further enriching them in the process.
