    Yeah to be accurate the definition should probably spell out that this violent action comes from agents operating outside of a majority-backed monopoly on violence. Terrorist vs freedom fighter n all that.

      Unfortunately implied by the “criminal” part of the definition

      Violent, criminal acts

      As the violence enacted by the state is supposedly supported by the laws they legislate, they get to skirt out of terrorism designation by being definitionally unable to commit “criminal” acts when they commit violent ones

        Oh yeah good point.

        Damn, if only we had some sort of international body that could bring charges against states for their terroristic crimes.
