Sounds like freedom fighting to me (given my biases).

Sounds like freedom fighting to me (given my biases).
- skissane 6y agoWhy can’t it be both at the same time? I realise in some people’s usage the two terms are mutually exclusive, but not everyone agrees with that usage.
- ukj 6y agoSure. That is how perspectivism works. Or, if you want to stretch a metaphor you could say that terrorism/freedom-fighting are in superposition.
- skissane 6y agoOne person may adopt value-laden definitions, another person may adopt value-neutral ones. Arguably, the term “perspectivism” is more appropriate for the former than the later. The fact that an act occurred, and the question of what its announced motivations are, is not (usually) something that depends on your perspective. People with widely different moral and political views can agree on those descriptive facts even if they make completely opposite value judgements of them. (Conspiracy theorists sometimes dispute the fact that an attack occurs and the real motivations behind it. But there are plenty of terrorist attacks which they don’t bother doing this to.)
