nothing I read about this group on Wikipedia points to terrorism, it repeatedly says they advocate nonviolence
I guess these days though it's become some kind of magic password to get whatever the hell you want

    It always has been in Spain. I adore the people and culture, but they’ve always overreacted to Basque and now Catalan independence movements.

  • Well, basque indepence movement involved several deaths, including "civilians", non politics or police related until 2000s, and people react quite pacific always.

    Whereas catalan movement is basically pacifist with some roadblocks and protests and some riots. In front, the typical anti riot police, not fun... but kind of expected.

    Honestly, I will be not surprised if this case ends in nothing as it is not clear it can hold in court ...

    This is a very stupid sentiment. Are you familiar with Iran?

    That if you make a black and white statement with no nuance, it inevitably turns out to be stupid.

    Freedom fighters are often branded terrorists. But not all terrorists are freedom fighters
