UN general assembly's definition of terrorism:

Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.

Both of the acts described by @leaffur are criminal, for a political purpose (i.e. silencing a dissenting opinion) and meant to instill terror in the person or group of people against which they are targeted.

He's a knee-jerk "anti-Conspiracy theorist". anti-Conspiracy nuts are just as misinformed and deluded as Conspiracy nuts are - they honestly think that there is no such thing as people conspiring, framing and using gross tactics against other people.

The Conspiracy nut wants us to all live in a world of paranoia, where powerful, nameless & faceless people are plotting against you, and everyone is a potential agent. The anti-Conspiracy nut wants us all to live in a world were there is no such thing as false-flagging or conspiring, a world where everyone is innocent and would never "do that" to anyone else.

Both overlook evidence, as evidence isn't needed for their delusions and may even shatter them. Both won't even entertain the idea of hearing the other side, and will instantly knee-jerk in reaction to anything inconvenient or uncomfortable.

Modern day feminism is literal Terrorism. And I mean all feminists, since there is no such thing as a "moderate feminist." A bunch of first world babies getting mad at boobs in video games when there are women actually being oppressed all over the world. (but they're third world so how could modern feminists relate)

Third wave feminists is what you meant to say. I know some second wave feminists in their 50's and 60's that are chill as fuck and don't care about tits in vidya or movies.

How do empty threats and fire alarms equate to a state of terror? Most times we just end up laughing at them out of pity. If that's what it takes for you to be thrown into a 'state of terror,' you may need more trigger warnings than the tumblrtards

The same way mean words online warrant feminists standing before the UN insisting they're grounds for "harassment."

What? Both sides can't play the same game? The difference here is that I haven't seen any MRA or red pill advocate scream over feminists or disrupt their speeches, nor have I ever heard of a domestic shelter for women shut down by them.

Um, wut? Both bomb threats and fire alarms are both calculated to cause fear, of dying by bombs in one case, and dying by fire in the other. They're also calculated to cause fear of speaking. All in all that's textbook terrorism.
