acts of violence from a illegitimate government is terrorism folks. I don’t care about America or Isis. A bad guy fighting a bad guy does not male one bad guy good.

that’s what terrorism means, so yes.
The Taliban definitely still use violence to achieve their aims. It’s state terrorism or oppression now.
Right, my comment was more about, once a terrorist always a terrorist, like once your murder someone, your forever a murderer instead of stopping being a murderer cause you haven’t killed in a decade,
well the taliban weren’t terrorists until they stopped fighting the soviets. one of the 80’s Bond films is even dedicated to “the brave freedom fighters of Afghanistan”. contrary to doing a single murder, doing many for political gain turns your status from objective to subjective.
Plus:
Every terrorist believes their cause is just and they’re freedom fighters.
Every victor gets to write the history books… Hence why the objectively-terrorist actions of bombing Dresden, Berlin, 90+ Japanese cities + the nukes, etc. during WWII, wasn’t defined as terrorism but doing what needed to be done for the greater good.
