No, it's the source that determines whether he's a terrorist. What I personally trust doesn't matter here. If the police find that his motive was political, religious, racial, or ideological, they charge it as terrorism. If they find that his motive was something else, they don't.
And if all violence is terrorism, then there's no need to ever use the word terrorism.
Now, you might argue that there is no need to ever use the word terrorism - and you wouldn't get much argument from me. If you murder someone and get sent to prison for life, does it really matter how we label the murder? It's the same prison either way.
So basically the UK police with a long established history of ignoring leftwing violence and Muslim terrorism get to decide your opinion. Terrorism isn't violence, it's the posts on social media that make our minority groups look bad that is terrorism. /s
That's a weird question to ask about a crime that took place in a constitutional monarchy with some democratic features.
It can be your opinion that the government is lying and Rudakubana actually had a political motive. But you'd just be making shit up in your own head to feel like a big bad rebel.

Then shut up. Don't post. The government can advocate just fine for itself, it doesn't need unthinking parrots on message boards.
Do you not understand how democracy works?
