"narco terrorism" isn't a real thing. What does that even mean. It's just two bad scary words strung together without coherence. And yet, since some on the right have started using this phrase I'm hearing other people echo it uncritically.

@KarlHeinzHasliP The Sackler family might want to push back against this kind of framing I suspect as well.

@futurebird I think within territories controlled by cartels there is real “narco terrorism”, for example there was a recurring thing of hanging bodies from bridges as a public warning not to offend the local boss. However within the USA, it’s strictly a right wing boogeyman.

@futurebird they added the terrorist word because it acts as a joker : this human have no rights; clear for execution; clear for unlawful detention; clear for torture.I blame bush 2nd for the term "enemy combatant" it all went downhill from there.

@futurebird When Escobar blew up a plane it probably counted. Now, not so much.

@futurebird It is being used to justify war without officially declaring war. In the current plan, Venezuela is Ukraine and Trump is Putin.

@futurebird It's explained in Frederick Forsyth's book The Cobra, where the US president declares narcotics import as a terrorism offence, to allow anti-terrorism responses.

@futurebird Oh, I thought narcoterrorism is when you go around scaring people in their sleep as a religious practice.I should probably fix my resume.

@futurebird @australopithecus people say there's no such thing as narcoleptic terrorism, but you'd be surprised at how few sleeping electrons it takes to kill a person. I've always said, let sleeping leptons lie.
