Coercive behavior doesn't quite work though.
Yours is better than either of the ones posted, but I do think the physical force aspect is important to differentiate from other aspects.

I was going to attempt to make a point about how stopping terrorism that isn't explicitly violent with violence isn't the same thing.

Starving a population isn't violence, but it is terrorism. Attempting to give that population food and being stopped by the state by legal means is terrorism.

The state is going to define things in specific ways to ensure that they're considered correct.

I had written out a response to the person I replied to and then didn't post after reading some of their other comments. They're probably just a troll, or one of those people that's legitimately kind of smart but hasn't been around people that are incredibly smart, so hasn't had a reason to adjust their opinions about things because they might be shallowly correct but are fundamentally wrong. Like Newton's laws.

Violence is a key word in that definition.

Violence: Behavior or treatment in which physical force is exerted for the purpose of causing damage or injury.

So, starving a group of people isn't terrorism because you're not exerting physical force.

Not easily stopping a fire when you know it's going to spread towards an occupied house isn't violence because you're not exerting physical force.

Poisoning drinking water isn't violence because you're not exerting physical force.

Real question: what do you call those things? It can't be defined as terrorism. What is it?

We could do both

Just me or is the fediverse the place for memes?

Because rather than spending some of his money to change things, he spends it to punch people

I like the idea of a Batman story where it's slowly revealed that he's the villain. There'd be his most sympathetic villains revealed to be people that are fighting the morally correct fight, while Batman is just fighting to maintain the status quo.
The sequel would have the Joker trying to undermine the public trust in the systems that maintain the status quo

Didn't we just come off a decade of record low interest rates? Are we all fucked?

Both China and the USA combined are over half of all GHG emissions. They need to be pressured to act more aggressively

My thought too. It's amazing how having a professional makeup artist can turn an average into a stunner.

Who was ugly in previous star treks? Green bikini woman?

Yep. I want a nice echo chamber. I don't want to hear stupid opinions about how my loved ones are less than.
