When we fought for our independence, did we bomb civilian filled locations in London and provoke it? Or did we declare our freedom and then defend ourselves against their MILITARY invasion? The circumstances of the situation dictate who is a freedom fighter and who is a terrorist. Either side can look at it however they want, but the real circumstances remain the same regardless of what either side in any conflict says.
Nelson Mandela was a communist piece of shit that took power under the guise of being about the people, while killing people and then made huge dollars by exploiting the position the people gave him.
And I Wear Pants, there has never been anything in the history of the world that has violated human rights more than government, it's not even close....at all. Democide alone claimed as many as a quarter billion lives in the 20th century. All in the name of freedom, or progress, or "human rights", etc.
