    Yes it does. In the UK, terrorism is defined more broadly, and the actions of this groups fall firmly within their legal definitions, hence why they were so swift with this designation.

      Genocidal states deserve to see their planes blown up. And if you disagree you might be a genocide apologist.

      They’re everywhere on lemmy world. Hell even the admin is one

      You sure seem to be right about the broader definition! But legal or not, it still seems absolutely crazy to classify this type of property damage as terrorism to me… I have a hard time to see how to justify that beyond, of course, the technicalities of the definition in the UK

      Then you might have a tyrannical government. In that case, definitions should be the least of your concerns.
