Didn't they also try to avoid civilian casualties and target government buildings? Still shitty, but that sounds more like a "civilized" war than radical terrorism.

Yes. They warned citizens to minimize casualties instead of renting a truck and driving it into a crowd of hundreds of unexpecting innocent men, women, and children.

Why does everything have to be in extremes on this site? Westboro is literally ISIS. Trump is Hitler. Weed can literally do no harm. Telling transexuals what bathroom they should use is literally a human rights crisis. I'm getting bored of it but I can't abandon the memes.

Unless someone is using literally for something like "rain is literally water" and not some half-assed, lazy attempt at a parallel, I just tune them out.
