My understanding is that he was not "charged with terrorism", but NY has a provision where they can use terrorist-like criteria as one of the ways a person can be charged with first-degree murder instead of something lesser.

Reason: Not a meme

That’s true. A screenshot of a Threads post does not a meme make.

Share it to someone else (I did), now it's a meme.

He also wouldn't have made it to this point alive were he Black, nor would he have the same kind of support had he previously spoken out about Black liberation or the Land Back movement for example, rather than how "wokeism" is the cause of racism.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - him shooting a CEO was good and inspiring, putting anyone up on a pedestal, starting a cult of personality, and ignoring some or all of the different systems of oppression at play, is definitely not.

Oh, right, ml instance. Anyway class war is the only war and you can be racist against white people.

Well, class warfare it is not yet. A class system, it is.

Systematically killing people based on their income by denying them essentials like health care, shelter, and legal protection from financial predation sounds like warfare to me. Especially when you couple it with a complete double standard on what constitutes protection from physical violence.
