Is there a good reason why journalists keep calling this "far-right disorder" instead of what it really is: Fascist Terrorism?

It's probably a legal thing, like 'allegedly'. Until the gov officially declares them terrorists my guess is they water down the language to avoid lawsuits.

That makes sense.

It still infuriates me a bit though.

White people can't be terrorists.

Those of us who grew up during the IRA bombing find that statement odd.

Need to get some sociologists on this to determine if Irish people counted as White at the time.
