    No ofcourse not, but whatever the fuck is going on in alabama is not politics. It is corruption and religous fascism which needs to be eradicated, just like my nazi great grandparents in germany were for what they did.

      That’s specious. You disagreeing with it doesn’t make it not politics. One group of people are using the power of the state to oppress another group of people. Anything that pertains to government policy is politics. Your nazi family using the power of the state to murder my family members was also politics. It’s not normal or sane politics, but that doesn’t redefine what the word means.

      Does the right get to bomb abortion clinics because it’s “not politics […] which needs to be eradicated”?

      Regardless, whether you call it “politics” or not, your comment is tacitly supporting violence to further a political or ideological goal (which is a common definition of terrorism.) It just happens to be an ideology you agree with.

      edit: Also, you’re contradicting yourself.

      It is corruption and religous fascism

      Who is it you accuse of being corrupted here? Oh yes, politicians.

      What is Fascism? It’s a system of government or political philosophy.
