You are so intentionally engaging in bad faith and misinterpreting what I am saying

I am pointing out arguments that I see and you keep acting like I'm arguing with you and that the arguments I see are irrelevant.

Many people (not all) became very hesitant to use the word terrorism in any context in response to how it morphed into a racist dog whistle term post 9/11.

You seem to deny this or think those people are so stupid that it's irrelevant.

I point out that some of these same people that I still see on my FB feed are now throwing around the word terrorism/ist to refer to white nationalist groups who operate under threats of terrorism and/or have attempted to commit terroristic acts successfully or unsuccessfully.

You seem to deny this or think those people are so stupid that it's irrelevant.

Regardless of how you value those people, they exist and it seems like their thought patterns are quite pervasive and believed by a significant amount of people.

I think it's weird how many people who were so hesitant about using the term terrorist are now eager to use it and the difference is that the previous group was Muslims and the new group is white nationalists.

I agree with you that they're both terrorists and should both be treated accordingly. This last sentence is the only real opinionated statement I've said as I've pretty much just reported on arguments that I've seen.

No, I understand the fact that there are people who are like that. My point is that you're trying to use your anecdotal examples of people who struggle to have intelligent and mature conversations around the subject of terrorism as some kind of proof is ridiculous. It doesn't mean they're dumb or stupid. It just means they either find the subject uncomfortable to talk about or just can't have a rational conversation on the subject for some reason. People like that shouldn't be used as some sort of absolute proof of general consensus.

And it's strange that you disregard anecdotal examples of terrorists of other races involved in the capitol riot just because most of the capitol rioters are white, but you're fine with repeatedly bring up your anecdotal examples of people you went to college with who can't seem to have a rational discussion on the matter, people on your Facebook feed, QAnon believers, etc.

You're basing your idea of general consensus on people who are irrational when it comes to this subject. I'm basing my idea of general consensus on rationality and logic.

My "eagerness" to call Jenny Cudd a terrorist has nothing to do with her race. It has to do with the fact that she committed a terroristic act and is proud of what she did.
