Westminster attack

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Wonder where this one is from.

United Kingdom

Wonder where his folks came from

From Africa, just like your and mine.

ACTUALLY, my folks came from Hyperborea: the land beyond the North Wind. Check your Afro-centrism.

Calling things like this single incident of murder and assault in London a "terror attack" reeks of Newspeak, or at the very least bad journalism and a stunted public mind. A violent criminal dead-ender, partly motivated by religious zealotry going on a rampage (with his car and a knife) is an awful violent crime, but it's hardly "terrorism" except by a definition so broad that it robs all meaning from the word.

Compare it to the last attack at Westminster, which actually was a terrorist attack:

Calling this an "incident" is Newspeak. It's not an incident. It is part of a worldwide pattern.

yeah, that totally wasn't politically motivated violence....the location was just a coincidence.

There are better hills to die on than this particular form of tasteless pedantry.

Of human beings, after failing at life, to harm and kill others? Yeah, I think it's called violent crime.

Yeah, attacks on seats of government are ALWAYS politically motivated. Just like the 1998 attack on the Capitol:
