    How dare they try to get in the way of corporate profits in a desperate attempt to save the human habitability of Earth from humanity!

    3 months out! Don’t you get it? All that matters is the next quarter. Humanity can burn and die after I see how much I l’ve won this quarter at the exploitation casino! A society grows great when old men burn the trees they sit under and tell the crying children to get their own planet to burn.

    Go on, now go to nearest nuke power plant and offer free hot tea and cheerful comments. (based, maybe a hint of /s)

    edit: Downvoters that apparently didn’t quite get what I meant; I’m cheerful for any nuclear power workers that doing a good job. /s was because this would be the opposite of what happended. Well, anyway…

    Sexy. Be safe, remember kids, always use use PPE when committing domestic terrorism!

    Edit: fucking lol you guys I support what they are doing. I just think it’s funny that it probably fits the technical definition of domestic terrorism even if we don’t consider it that.

      This is not terrorism, it’s industrial sabotage, which in the context of the coal industry is based.

        Terrorism doesn’t have an agreed upon definition, we’ve charged people with terrorism for occupying a forest, we’ve also done it for flying a plane into a building. The only unifying factor is a political action the government doesn’t sanction.

          Which is ridiculous and should be called out as such. Meanwhile we’re letting grown men with guns threaten kids over religious ideas.

          It’s like we all forgot what terrorism actually is.

          It has a clear definition. Maybe look it up some time?

              Of course this includes many states. That doesn’t mean the term is useless, you just don’t like the implication of that.

                Except people don’t use it that way. If you say “I live in Syria and I am afraid of a terrorist attack”, 99/100 people would not understand what you said to possibly mean that you were afraid of the US drone striking you.

                If they did, and anyone can use the term to refer to most any political organization and action that is associated with attacks on non-combatants, it becomes useless.

                  You would be surprised how many people outside of the west correctly identify US drone strikes as terrorist attacks. And no, that does not make the term meaningless at all.

          In the absence of consensus my opinion prevails (because I said so), and I say the thing OP referenced doesn’t count as terrorism. Anyone who disagrees with me is, to put it simply, wrong.

          (Occupying a forest sure as Hell doesn’t count either, by the way – and that’s one I can speak about with particular authority, being a resident of a nearby neighborhood and personal acquaintances with some of the people involved. Frankly, the Atlanta Police Department and Georgia State Patrol are the terrorists here: their actions have not been legitimate enforcing of laws, but rather the acts of a gang trying to claim turf to build their jackbooted-thuggery theme park.)

      If you’re terrified at the thought of a coal company being mildly inconvenienced, check those perls you’re clutching; they might actually be diamonds by now.

        I think disrupting national infrastructure can be considered terrorism, it just amused me thinking of good guys non violently being “good guy” terrorists
