    The APA has a bad history of classifying things as diseases that aren’t, so I had to read to see if they were continuing the tradition. The article does describe some terrorists as anti-capitalists, etc but not all anti-capitalists, etc as terrorists. I still don’t like that those are held as on the same level as the right wing examples of xenophobia, racism, and ‘upholding the [US] constitution’ via para-military groups that are explicitly banned in the US constitution (which get the same ‘some are terrorists, but not all’ treatment), but saying they’ve said ‘all anti-capitalists, ect are terrorists’ is a misrepresentation. If the intent is to extrapolate and use subtext to make a wider statement, it might be more fun to claim that the APA has just proclaimed that vegans are pathologically violent :)
