- keiferski 6y agoIt seems like you aren't really reading my comments, because as I have said a few times now, this would clearly be an act of terrorism. If your next question will be, "Is the ANC then a terrorist organization?" I refer you to my previous comment where I said we should avoid labeling nouns, but instead label actions.
- ukj 6y agoWhy are you interpreting it that way? Labeling actions is exactly what I did. The acton was "blowing up a bar full of civilians". You labelled that action as 'terrorism'. The ANC labelled that action as 'freedom fighting'.
- keiferski 6y agoYou can decide that up is down and left is right, but again, as a practical matter, this is really quite irrelevant. Unless you convince a sizable portion of the population / those with power to agree with you, your aberrant labeling is simply meaningless.
- ukj 6y agoThe ANC couldn't convince those in power to agree with them on the trivial matter of having their human rights recognised. They defined themselves as 'human'. Those in power rejected that definition. That's why they engaged in freedom fighting. Or as the National Party called it - terrorism.
