I have a number of asks in my inbox about that post I reblogged re: Andreas Lubitz a couple of hours ago, arguing about the use of “terrorism” in this context vs. “mass murder”; even going so far as to, like, paste the dictionary definitions

meanwhile news outlets are literally posting photos of Lubitz doing charity work and hyping up the neglected doctor’s note to frame their narrative and make this an isolated “mental illness” story, as they do for literally every white killer

so before anyone else decides to be pedantic in my inbox about the terms we use to describe someone who literally just murdered 149 people, ask yourselves if a derailing argument about semantics is really something you want to make a part of your tumblr legacy
