It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares “Antifa” a terrorist organization.
This doesn’t even make sense as Antifa isn’t an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦♂️
Stay safe out there!
Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!

Calling MLK a terrorist is like calling Gandhi a terrorist. They were both non violent.
Taking another angle, why aren’t drone strikes considered terrorism?
Was totally a thing at the time:
The definition of terrorism specifically carves out nation state actors. If Osama Bin Laden were part of the Afghanistan military structure, then he wouldn’t be a terrorist. Instead, he was running his own organization with Afghanistan support, which made him a non-state actor. So drone strikes by a nation state military wouldn’t be terrorism, but would be if it’s done by some rando.
Now, if you want to argue that nation states adopted a definition that conveniently left themselves out, I would agree.
