Why should everyone in the world have to agree who the terrorists are? This sort of relativism is corrosive and it's not a luxury terrorists and dictators indulge in. They're clear who the bad guys are, and it's us. That's what makes them our enemy, regardless of how they happen to percieve their own interests and the langugage they use to describe them.
- mrunkel 8y agoSo you are adopting the same world view as dictators and terrorists. At least you’re not trying to justify that somehow “we” still have the moral high ground.
- Veen 8y agoIf you mean by "the same world view" that I believe there is a difference between right and wrong. Then yes, I entirely agree with the terrorists and dictators on that point. I'd imagine some terrorists and dictators like beer and chocolate-covered pretzels as much as I do. If so, I agree with terrorists and dictators about that too. But we do have a difference of opinions when it comes to deliberately blowing up children or building theocratic states, for example.
