“Supposed”? Claiming the “suffragettes were terrorists” when < 1% were involved is just plain wrong. With blanket statements like that you sound like a fascist propagandist, and your ban was justified. Thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole though.
Context is key. It looks like the suffragettes had been peacefully protesting for decades before a very small number resorted to militancy, and the result of their “terrorism” was minuscule — 4 deaths and 24 injuries total in 2 years — before they gave it up entirely when WW1 broke out.
Remember! To the monarchs, revolution was “terrorism”. I’d never advocate for harming civilians, but "those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.’
Also western governments historically — especially the criminals in 3 letter agency secret police — have constantly used terrorism to advance their own political, economic, and military agendas around the world. They only decry terrorism when doing so is politically or financially advantageous, like lying about WMD’s in Iraq to transfer trillions to their crony psychopaths in the MIC. Israel literally detonated thousands of pagers recently in a premeditated act of terrorism, but they’re the “goodies” so the incidental murder of civilians is justified (/s #psychotic). The US drone program around the world IS terrorism too.
Authoritarians will never be overthrown peacefully, and all governments will always declare any insurgency terrorism; even when the insurgents have exhausted all other options and are explicitly targeting military. Hell, even Putin likely used the FSB to stage false flag terrorist attacks and seize power.
Surely this shall be recorded in the annals of history alongside other such historical zingers as “I know you are but that am i ?” or the seminal classic “Your Mother”.

A masterful retort.
