The second sentence from the last sounds like terroristic threats.

Edit: typo
Ah yes. I missed the word stab. I was focusing on the swear words. Still think terrorism is a stretch though
It actually stands for System TABle
Maybe this will help.
No, it's the name of a crime in the US basically meaning threatening to kill or injure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terroristic_threat
Is every threat, no matter how plausible, considered terrorism, now?
Pretty much. The state has a monopoly on violence. They can threaten you, and use force, as much as they want. If you do the same, and they don't like it, that's terrorism.
That was always the point since those terrorism laws were passed. Any inconvenience can be articulated under that excuse and you can easily remove anyone by the same claims.
Everything working as designed.
It could be protected hyperbole, would depend on the jury I imagine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_threat

Yes, please fall in line citizen.
