Like, no seriously, the state department classified him as a terrorist until like 10 years before he died. He was already a beloved figure In his modern incarnation as we remember him now way, Way way before The US federal government ever accepted that he had actually just won and was not a terrorist anymore, but a statesman.
Unpopular take but I think both Nelson Mandela was a terrorist and that terrorism isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Yeah terrorism comes in many shapes and sizes. And recently there is a trend in calling anything that targets the interests of rich people terrorism.
Terrorism against private jets = cool and trendy
Terrorism against random people in public = very unfriendly
Ones persons terrorist is another persons revolutionary
Freedom fighter/terrorist dichotomy aside, he definitely used terror to achieve political goals. We look upon him kindly because his cause seems just to us, and because he won.
Choosing peace instead of genocide when he had his hand on the button helped as well
Great point.
Did you have to post a full uncropped phone-length screenshot of a poor quality of this instead of spending literally a few seconds to find a better quality version?
Well no, it saved less than a minute, and ya I agree that would usually mean less engagement, but fascinatingly by pointing it out and making that criticism real it adds complexity to the post and actually increases engagement.
Are you a YouTube algorithm? Why does "increasing engagement" matter more to you than the quality of the content you share?
