Activists don't need the personal information of people they disagree with. Terrorists do, charge them accordingly.

Terrorist-a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aim

Hmmm.... that DOES sound a bit familiar...

Speak for yourself. If you believe that intelligence work is beneath you, the other side has already won.

That is not what they’re saying.

This is what they said:

Activists don’t need the personal information of people they disagree with. Terrorists do,

This is not a case of somebody saying something smart but just wording it terribly. It's no different than idots who spout "only cowards wear masks!" It's something only somebody that has no familiarity with actual activism - ie, no familiarity with the actual stakes and risks involved in real activism work - would say.

What you are alluding to is no longer activism and should be called what it is, terrorism. You are reframing the issue much as a neo Nazi might.
