      “Terrorists” is such an interesting word.

      As in - invading Iraq wasn’t terrorist apparently. 15 years ago from the news it seemed to have produced a backlog of war crimes to be investigated for like half a century (maybe exaggerating), but in fact the investigations stopped as soon as public attention got saturated.

      I’ve heard the Artsakh Defense Army being called “bandits” and “terrorists”, and they are all my brothers (if they want that).

      Still, to those “terrorist” bros who really use it I’d advise to move asap to something which is not snake oil. Again, Signal, or DeltaChat, or whatever else they find, just should do some research.

        I was talking about drug cartels, Neo-Nazis, and Islamic extremists, not your “bros”.

          Some of those are better people than their enemies too. All of them sometimes.

          It’s a real problem that guerillas use insecure means of communication. They are an important component of our world’s stability. A counterweight, so to say.
