Yeah really does show you how it's now (actually for some time) just a label, conveniently morphing over time for people/groups you don't like, losing any actual meaning because it's applied so liberally.

And it's ironic because there are clearly "real terrorists" (i.e. 9/11 guys).



Labeling everyone "terrorists" became fashionable very quickly specifically after 9/11. I think it has decreased by 80-90% or so since then. "Terrorists" used to be everywhere.
