      Every state (meaning country/government) supports terrorists. They only call it terrorism if it’s a non-state actor though. Ignoring what we do to other places in the world, do you think policing in the US is terrorism? I don’t see any way it isn’t. Violence and fear for political gain is the definition.

      You’ve just drank the kool-aid. You think what the state tells you is true and they can’t lie. Terrorism is a valid and useful tool. Again, it’s why every state uses it. It’s only since about 9/11 where politicians and the media discovered they can call anything they don’t like “terrorism” and get people like you to repeat the drivel.

      My man, we are the terrorists here. We are murdering people halfway across the globe over false pretenses and with zero evidence.

      What they are doing up Venezuela is literally state sponsored terrorism and war crimes.

      Does it ever get old viewing the world as either good or bad with no in-between?

      The world is complicated and full of nuance. I’d be exhausted trying to sort everything is such a binary system.

      It’s a worldview that eliminates the possibility of people you identify as “good” to do bad and vice versa. The only way to keep it consistent ia to ignore all information that doesn’t fit the binary worldview you’ve established

      I don’t support terrorism, which is why I’ve never voted for Trump. The only hypocrisy here is yours - e.g. claiming to be a “Christian” while saying the things you have.
