    Martin Bryant had mental health problems, shot a whole lot of people but because he wasn’t part of a terrorist organisation it wasn’t terrorism. Like fuck it wasn’t. Terrorism.

      In the past terrorism wasn’t even from stateless organisations, it was a tactic used by foreign governments or rebels.

      Good examples are in the Ridley Scott movie, Last Duel. In the modern era Russia is using terror and they aren’t a terrorist organisation.

      The whole point is destabilisation of government.

      Bush jr changed the definition of terrorism to further his money driven foreign policy.
