The UK is digging its own grave here.
First of all persecuting peaceful protestors as “terrorist supporters” for supporting a group that is designated as “terrorist” for non violent civil disobedience is dystopian authoritarian nightmare fuel.
Furthermore this will waste a lot of resources in the counter-terrorism units, judiciary and prison system.
Then this will motivate for escalations. As peaceful protest is crushed and persecuted as “terrorism”, there is no legal reason not to commit acts of actual violence. If people are branded “terrorists” and imprisoned for many years either way, they might as well “make it worthwhile”.
Finally this whole bullshit is weakening the perception of actual terrorism and support for terrorist organizations as a problem. If everyone is a terrorist for not licking the boots of the government, no one is a terrorist.
Fascists.
*⮮Report, block, move-on.
I really believe that it is trivializing fascism if you really call everything fascism. Your group will be banned even in the perfect democracy if you sabotage military airplanes and even there you will be arrested if you actively agitate for banned groups.
do you call that everyone who isnt radical left???
No, only those who imprison people for peaceful protest.
Oh, look, the fascist is back.
Fascist, Nazi… all those terms have long lost their meaning… today the only meaning those words transport are: “I don’t agree with this persons worldview”.
