    If the penalty is so steep for minor offenses, they will encourage real terror. Why wouldn’t the next ones just blow up the bank if they’re going be charged as terrorists regardless? It’s not a charge you ever recover from.

    Anyone who finds spray paint on a bank more terrifying than the Arms Manufacturing Industry is a fucking psychopath.

    They should have to prove terror has been caused to a considerable part of the population.

    violence is the anwser, not spray paint, you’ll be designated as a terrorist either way so you have nothing to lose.

        don’t need to, my democracy (Canada) threw out your puppet Pierre Poilievre and the sedition plot for Alberta is failing, now the conservatives are becoming more irrelevant by the day as the old folks die off, why should i die for your country when that’s your responsibility. but rest assured, if any of your lead brain dumbfuck soldiers come to my country under donalds order, i will happily find ways of getting rid of them like other wars they’ve failed to win.

        if this is your response then you deserve to be a debt slave you coward.

          Canada is absolutely not safe from PP and our closest to actual left party was effectively destroyed through this, and now the liberals are shifting further and further right

    In the UK the state can deprive a person of their UK citizenship when they are labeled a terrorist by the state. Guess what will happen next to these people.

    Craven, servile authorities with no morals or balls might be able to stop people finding ways to voice their horror at the fact gutless IDF fuckholes mass murder Palestinian babies and children, but they’ll never stop people knowing Netanyahu’s an inhuman cunt, who deserves to be thrown into a deep, deep pit for the rest of his life, for ordering it.

      If something that should at worst be called vandalism is considered terrorism what’s preventing activists from just doing actual terrorism?

    If throwing a can of paint is the same as throwing a bomb then why not throw bombs? Seems like a dumb thing for a government to promote…

      This is their way of subduing the populace even more. If politicians and corporations were actually scared to fuck people over, we’d live in a much better world.

    Kill thousands of Palestinian children, including by picking infants up by the ankle and swinging them hard as you can into brick walls, and impaling pregnant women through the stomach and leaving them to die in the dirt?

    You’re a “settler.”

    Throw paint at something to protest that?

    You’re a “terrorist.”

      The British government paved the way for those settlers, don’t forget. They assumed control of the land, kicked out the natives and beckoned for all the Israelites to enter, who, obviously, started murdering anyone still in Palestine. This chapter of their cruelty started in 1948 and Britain’s government, who has always been a piece of shit, made it so.

        That’s crazy. Fortunately the world is full of countries like China, the US, Germany, Russia… you know, big places where everything has run on compassion for others and doing the right thing for the last hundred plus years.

          Edit: each of these are incorrect, and more wild theories based on misconceptions than simply ‘sarcasm that missed the mark’. We were the ones with the misconceptions, not Abyssian.

          I get it, if you mean I’m being unnecessarily narrow-minded: there’s no need to single out one or two cruel empires when there are many… All of the most globally influential countries and many smaller ones are ethically awful and cause suffering, that it may be easier to count the ones that are wholly kind and benevolently ruled.

          If you are subtly referencing the destruction of native civilisations for the unification of the newcomers: Many countries like Australia, Russia and Greenland (to name a few, perhaps less known ones) have natives a.k.a. people who lived there first that are horribly oppressed and shunned, but let’s not try to erase the most significant acts of evil in modern history, condoned by a massive portion of the local population. One wrongful act does not excuse or justify another.

          If you’re referring to the systemic hate of Jews in those countries and most of Europe: please remember that the ethnoreligion of Judaism, the cult of Zion and the nationality of Israel are not the same.

          *Edited out wildly inaccurate claim

      It was watered down 25 years ago to include property damage but has never been used until, surprise surprise, Zionist genocide is being inconvenienced.

    literal whole buildings for entire blocks have graffiti and random crap in places all around the world. Spray paint clearly isn’t good enough.
