The main factor of what turns a crime into terrorism is the intent. Terrorism is just any crime intended to intimidate civilians or influence the policy of the government through unlawful violent acts.
No I'm not saying these hypothetical attacks would be aimed at changing government policy or politics but rather the policies of a private mega corporation.
Terrorism laws are retarded. I classify them in the same bullshit category as hate crimes. I shoot a nigger? Murder. I shoot a nigger and say "fuck you, nigger," murder with hate crime modifier.
In this hypothetical, is Jeff Bezos personal friends with the president? If yes, terrorism, if no, regular destruction of property.
Don't like it when it applies to lefties, huh? Kill yourself, faggot.
The m-word is OUR word, they don't get to say it
Ah I see what you mean. It's still terrorism -- the government or its policies doesn't have to be the final target. It's violence being committed specifically to effect change (e.g. "stop building the killer robbits").
I'm not sure if there has been a group that went after only one corporation over something like that as the closet would be eco-terrorists who targeted businesses and schools which as you can tell still has the word terrorism in it. You are still using crime to sow fear to make them doing something you want.
The Weather Underground would like a word.
No, nigger, I don't like them at all.
Interesting, and yeah something like "stop building the killer robots" is a good example. The anti-AI sphere has some people who have said it would ok to launch airstrikes on datacenters to stop the growth of AI because they're concerned about AGI or superintelligence being developed and that it would wipe out humanity.
It's still terrorism. You're trying to use violence, and the threat of more of it, to get people to do what you want.
Imagine throwing away potentially 20 years of your life all over a guy who will be gone in a little under 4 years.
You can't even edit a fucking webpage without these clowns crying for a revolution.

Under the legal definition of terrorism in the US it wouldn't be considered terrorism:
I don't think you grasp the law very well, it's understandable it can be confusing. If you rob someone with deadly force it's much more serious than strongarm robbery. Let's take a more simple case, murder; losing your shit and murdering someone is a much less serious offense than if you plan out killing your ex boss because he fired you. This stuff is in same vein.
You're not wrong but so what, we should just allow Paid Protesters to torch down Tesla just because Elon sucks? I completely agree its bullshit that anyone can be organized as a terrorist organization on the whim of the President but these (more than likely paid) Protesters are literally burning down businesses in a coordinated attack all over the country at Tesla dealerships because they are upset Elon is finding fraud and abuse? Also in 2020 Trump was literally under so much scrutiny even by his own party he wasn't able to get anything done during that time. We should all be thinking about the American workers at those dealerships who have nothing to do with Elon or his politics and Feel unsafe at work now and are being targeted and harassed for no real reason other than having a job.
These laws aren't going away, and if some Rand Paul figure got into office and abolished them the next Democrat after him will reinstate these laws. The best we can do is use the same power against the left.
It's not that he doesn't understand the law, it's that nobody seems capable of grasping the simple point he's making.
