    Not a terrorist after a terrorist from there same faction gets into the highest pubic office.

    Unfortunately/sadly I’m not even being sarcastic. That is just how it works, what next gens get taught, & what the majority just accepts over time (until the regime change).

    We still celebrate plenty of historical monsters.

      Words have meaning. Terrorists are terrorists even after they take power. You’re not wrong, though.

        I agree but how many people in the west call USA war tactics terrorist?

        Terrorist acts, in its core, are what is meant to shock the population, a means of (usually killing the civilian population) achieving the effect on people with less (economically).
        Eg nuking civilian population (for terror among the nation) vs nuking the same nations unpopulated areas (or, weeks before that, systematically using incendiary bombs on civilians).

        Words have meaning, that is why propaganda changes the narratives/words (sometimes even word definitions).
