Fun fact, Hezbollah was designated a terrorist organization for this exact reason. Killing terrorist invaders killing innocent people on your land makes you a terrorist.
Terrorist is a politicized, meaningless term, and always has been. Its only use is propaganda. The fact that the word snuck into legislation is incredibly frightening. In the UK, you cannot support a terrorist group. What defines a terrorist group? Whatever the fuck the home security office wants.
Reminder that terrorist started being used as a replacement for “freedom fighter”, when public opinion on the Mujahideen, APLA, IRA etc. started to change and flip.

Seems like a reversal of cause and effect. I think the usage of the term “terrorist” for these groups was a deliberate choice of the consent factory to flip public opinion.
That’s what I mean, they started calling them terrorists because people started seeing “freedom fighter” as a positive thing. “Freedom fighters” were scary anarchists that blew things up in Europe in the 1800s.

Protesting genocide, apparently.
