Agree with antifascist stuff. Just nitpicking the fascist idiot's idiotic words: what the hell is an example of a non-politically-motivated assassination?? isn't every assassination politically motivated?
If we're moving away from elections and governments, corporations could assassinate each others leaders.
We can go further and describe everything we do and every way in which we interact with others as "politically motivated" because politics is literally just dealing with someone else. If there were two people left on earth, there would be politics. If there was only one person left, there would finally be no politics.
And that's my platform when I run: no more politics 2028! lets gooooo!
Honestly yeah. My understanding of politics is power dynamics, which is just built into everything
I don't know what level of irony you're on, but seriously, isn't the political motivation what makes it different from a (paid) murder?
"Political motivation" is just the term we use to describe something that happened that we haven't codified into law yet because it hasn't become the widespread, social norm.
Are you doing a Peterson move and just asking me to define my terms? Anyway, I'm off to bed, maybe I'il expand on that tomorrow.
Mob hits.
Internal politics or killing people that threaten their position?
Financially-motivated assassinations? Having someone killed before they can disown you?
Assassination of passion.
I suddenly realised I don't actually know the difference of somebody being murdered or assassinated. I searched it, turns out there's various definitions. Most have either sneaky-peaky or prominent (political?) meanings.
Often, I think being an important person or person in position of power is an important factor that makes it different than just a murder.
