It’s not that protest groups are accused of terrorism per se, but they’re known for tactics of intimidation. The facts are laid bare on the ground. People have felt threatened for being a member of a party, participating in public debates, or voting in elections. This has gone on for decades.
The causes people follow are mainly to blame, because they highlight differences. The political system is built around compromise, or bridges linking together people of different persuasions. This is not found in activism. The affronts are meant to undermine our starting points to make us submit.
The agent of this is the common man and woman. It can be plotted at kitchen tables. It’s the effect of out working it constantly in neighbourhoods. The fear that’s spread builds if the people doing it don’t give up. It’s not a simple refusal that works. They don’t listen to personal complaints.
