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
