You're viewing a single thread.
And now the words âterroristâ and âheroâ have become synonymous, undoing decades of 9/11 imperialist propaganda in one fell swoop.
I mean I wish. But a man can dream.
Hopefully this should open some eyes, but 9/11 was literally America's version of the recent invasion in Israel.
If anyone reads Osama Bin Laden's manifesto, he explicitly states that Western support for Israel is one of the main reasons for the attack.
Yeah. I remember as a kid wondering why they would attack the states like that and my parents and every other adult I asked have different versions of âthey hate our freedomâ or âtheyâre Muslim extremists and want everyone who isnât Muslim to die.â I live in Canada so I can only imagine how much worse it was in the US. To me, even as a child of 11 years old, that sounded far fetched and didnât make much sense. Once the internet became popular I looked it up and realized it wasnât as black and white, good vs evil as all that. Honestly thatâs one of the things that made me start seeing the US as an evil country and start realizing what imperialism was and how horrific it was for the world.
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is who wins the war.
Or who owns the paper reporting it
The rebels in Star Wars are technically terrorists. Lucas even modeled them after the Vietkong. Same for the Fremen in Dune. In the book, Paul's holy war is called the Jihad.
In DS9, Kira Nerys refers to herself as a terrorist all the time.
To be fair, that's also often portrayed very critically. But yes, the Bajorans are pretty obviously Jew/French resistance proxies, while the Cardassians are almost comically Nazi-like.
FUCKING YES
