    I said "terrorism" just as you wrote "terrorism" but nonetheless - who has declared graffit writers as "violent"?

    Graffiti can be construed as violence, yes. Especially if it's terrorist adjacent

    this is it. Id imagine swastikas or slogans for terrorist groups as violence. the extinction rebellion logo on a building is violent graffiti in my book.

    theyve been declared an eco terrorist group which I'd think is pretty accurate but they absolutely are violent protestors.

    So anything they do is terrorism? Is that not diluting the seriousness of actual terrorism

    So you're hyperboling everything to you don't like to the level of violence so you can redefine the word terrorism to suit your agenda, grand.

    As someone said, this dilutes the meaning and seriousness of ACTUAL terorrism.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Eco terrorism , its a subsection

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eco-terrorism
    The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines eco-terrorism as "...the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature."

    this counts as eco-terrorism.

    the term is specifically made for that type of act and doesn't mean the watering down of terrorism.

    nope fake news and hyperbole.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.
