I think we need more information before we can proclaim it terrorism with certainty. If it was say teenagers with guns or something, that is probably not terrorism, that's stupidity. But I do think it wasn't an accident and was likely planned, attempted to stew disorder. But the world is complicated, people do things to try to blame the other side. There is actual right wing accelerationism, but we need a little more evidence before we can confidently say what this is in headlines.

I think you meant to reply up-thread. My comment didn't touch on the recent vandalism/sabotage/attacks.

Don't forget The Weather Underground back in the late 60s.

Oh, I'm not that old.

Neither am I, so I'm really confused on your point. Are you saying you know nothing about anything that happened before your time?

Oh, I thought I made that clear:

> all prominent enough for me to remember when they happened

I listed pre-9/11 examples of terrorism that I remember happening.

I'll add to that, the Atlanta Olympics bombing.

Good example, but for whatever reason I don't remember that as vividly.

So, I remember these events(vaguely), but not a lot of talk of terrorism specifically. Do you happen to recall if the media specifically labeled them terrorists at the time?

The 1993 WTC bombing was definitely labelled terrorism. I remember it as a bit of a shock, that Americans didn't realize people in the Middle East were really pissed at us about something. Oklahoma City was quickly labelled terrorism, many originally assumed it was Mid-East in origin again and were shocked that it was domestic terrorists. I don't remember the Unabomber incident much, but I do remember there was much attention given to his manifesto.

Also, there were many airplane hijackings in the 1970s. I don’t remember if they were called terrorism, though.
