Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature
Pretty much the definition of terrorism. Doesn't necessarily make it wrong.
That's what was so terrifying about the Patriot Act for so long.
This is resisting, not furthering, ideological goals.
Could you state the ideological goal of these attacks?
It's the same thing.
Seriously? You need that explained to you? How much time do you have? Eccentric billionaire seeks to destroy democracy, manipulate the public, oppress and marginalize it's people, consolidate wealth in the elite class, dismantle federal institutions that check him, defy the law, for starters. You haven't heard about any of this? The "ideological goal" is to end it.
Sorry but I really don't think it's the same thing. People are motivated to do this to oppose an ideology, not to promote one. They could come from almost any ideological starting point, and all they want, essentially is a return to the status quo.
Again, which ideology does this action promote?
There's no need to apologize for disagreeing. Just explain yourself.
How can you not see that those are the same thing?
I just explained that in great detail in the comment you replied to...
