And you know who I also don’t condemn?
The IRA
The Viet Minh
John Brown
Haitian slaves who revolted
Native American fighters
Black Panthers
National Liberation Front (Algeria)
Nelson Mandela
The 26th of July Movement
Every one of them were called “terrorists” or something equivalent at some point. Now think about who’s on the opposite of this list. Apartied South Africa, slavers, settlers, Zionists, the US government… There is only one moral and just side to be on and it’s not even a discussion.
Nelson Mandela is a good historical figure to bring up in this context. Liberals love him for his rehabilitated image as a peace negotiator, but he didn’t go to prison for writing letters to the editor.
They repeatedly offered to release him from jail in exchange for denouncing socialism. He did no such thing. He also reached a point where he refused to condemn violent rebellion because the non-violence wasn’t getting the goods. What liberals unknowingly worship him for, in their civility fetishism, is his acts of public reconciliation with the colonizers. Would have been good to get that post-apartheid wealth redistribution instead but what’s done is done.
Nelson Mandela was literally considered a terrorist by the US government until 2008
this is freaky, just today i was thinking the same thing.
I’d like to hear someone go full cheeky on the “condemn hamas” thing and be all “well actually Hamas had good intelligence that the IDF was embedded with those concertgoers so that was just collateral damage.”
