Murder makes the intent sound more petty; less important, more personal, and less political than it really is
Assassination indicates political intent and societal effect, and even a sketchy history of skeletons behind the assassinated that led to this
But the cultural hegemonic capitalist lib and con media don’t wanna hear anything about such history.
I feel like if you go by this logic “self defense” would be the preferred term
On a societal level absolutely self-defense
Yeah why not
