Daily Inspiration Quote by Bianca Jagger

Jagger’s line isn’t trying to win a definitional debate; it’s trying to force a reroute in the listener’s moral reflexes. “Today” plants it in a post-crisis media climate where “terrorism” has become both headline and shorthand, a word that arrives pre-loaded with villains, flags, and permission structures. Then she pivots on “but” and hits the real provocation: the violence we name loudly versus the violence we normalize quietly.

The intent is accusatory, but strategically so. By saying “we talk a lot,” she implicates the audience as participants in a selective attention economy, not merely consumers of news. The subtext is that the category “terrorism” is less a neutral descriptor than a political filter: if a non-state actor commits violence, it’s framed as barbarism; if a state does comparable harm (bombings, disappearances, torture, mass surveillance), it becomes policy, security, collateral damage, regrettable necessity. Her “rarely talk” isn’t about ignorance so much as taboo: state power doesn’t just act; it also defines what counts as legitimate force.

Coming from a celebrity-activist, the line uses cultural capital as a crowbar. Jagger’s public profile lets her smuggle a human-rights argument into spaces that might dismiss it if it came packaged as theory. She’s also reclaiming a term the state likes to monopolize, flipping it back onto the institutions that police language. The rhetorical power is in the asymmetry she exposes: outrage travels fast when the perpetrator lacks a uniform, but slows to a crawl when violence comes with official letterhead.
